Central Arizona Animal Rescue

Desert Paws Rescue's goal is to give cats who would otherwise be put to sleep a fresh start. With the intention of finding our animals new, permanent homes, we offer secure and caring foster homes.

They offer shelter to stray animals as well as owner-returned cats and dogs. Unless otherwise specified, all animals are up for adoption.

Help A Dog Smile is a 501(c)3 non-profit Arizona corporation, or HADS as we affectionately refer to it. At kill shelters across the state, we find loving homes for stray dogs and dogs that are on euthanasia lists.

501c3 non-profit Happy Tails Dachshund Rescue is made up of devoted rescue volunteers that adore the Dachshund dog breed. Our goal is to prevent as many Doxies from being put to death, being abused, or being abandoned and to find them loving, forever homes.

A small, non-profit 501C3 rescue dedicated to purebred Rottweilers is called Rotten Rottie Rescue. We take in rottweilers who become homeless and end up in shelters, as well as rottweilers whose owners are going to surrender them to a shelter because they are unable to care for them.

Whether they were rescued from the euthanasia list, were homeless, or had been abandoned, we are committed to rescuing and rehoming creatures in need. We are fully run by volunteers and foster parents who are committed to caring for our animals.
