LISTEN NOW As a sector, animal welfare is changing rapidly and theArizona Humane Society (AHS) [http://www.azhumane.org/]is leading the movement as Arizona’s premiere animal welfare organization. Community-wide, euthanasia is down a whopping 86 percent and the number of pets saved and rehabilitated is at an all-time high thanks to AHS and its strategic collaborations with other organizations. AHS serves as the safety net for the community’s most vulnerable pets. AHS saves lives through some of the most innovative programs in the country: aggressive spay/neuter initiatives; comprehensive medical care in AHS’ Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital and intensive care units; rescue and cruelty investigations by AHS’ Emergency Animal Medical Technicians; and a Pet Resource Center that helps keep pets in loving homes. Saving lives through innovative services costs more every year, and the life of every pet saved is the direct result of gifts from thousands of friends, partners and donors. Through innovation, compassion and excellence, AHS saves the most vulnerable animals and enriches the lives of pets and people.
