Dedicated to ending animal homelessness and providing care and comfort for companion animals in need.
Heifer International's mission is to end hunger and poverty and to care for the Earth using gifts of livestock, seeds, trees and training in sustainable agriculture community development projects to help millions of people become self-reliant. Since 1944, Heifer has helped transform the lives of more than 18.5 million families (94.5 million people) by giving them gifts of cows, goats and other livestock. Along with the animals, families receive training in animal care and conservation for environmentally sound agricultural development. We also provide training in community development, gender equity, sharing and caring, strategic planning and other subjects as needed, including literacy. The process takes several years and is not declared successful until the community shows sustained improvement in nutrition, income and self-reliance. Each family that receives an animal agrees to Pass on the Gift by sharing the first-born female offspring of their animal with another family in need, so each gift of livestock starts a chain of self-reliance that spreads throughout entire communities.
To lead the way toward a compassionate and caring community for all animals.

LDCRF is actively involved in taking in and finding new, loving homes for at risk cats and dogs. In this process, LDCRF ensures that these animals are temperament tested, current on all necessary vaccinations, and either spayed or neutered prior to becoming available for adoption. LDCRF conducts public adoption events at area Petsmarts on weekends. These events are staffed by volunteers who interview prospective adopters, answer questions about the animals, and take advantage of the opportunity to educate the public on the benefits of spaying and neutering; the need to obtain proper veterinary care; and of providing basic training to their pets. They await adoption in foster care and at the kennel facility located in Falls Church. The rescue also has a ranch, home to rescued farm animals.

Values Our Brand Dimensions Compassionate Spirit The Arizona Humane Society was built on a foundation of compassion and kindness toward animals.

AHS makes every effort to model its own behavior on the accepting, gentle spirit of the animals with the hope of compelling the community to act on their behalf. Leading Edge Innovation The Arizona Humane Society has been a leader in the animal welfare community for many decades. A commitment to thinking differently about the problem has resulted in countless first-of-their-kind programs, services, education and communications techniques that have been emulated by organizations all over the world.

Dignity for People and Pets AHS’ Compassionate Spirit guides the organization in its efforts to do what’s best for the animals and the people in their lives.

The experience becomes uniquely AHS when the organization is aligned to deliver a dignified experience regardless of circumstances. Confident Transparency AHS is the leading animal welfare organization in the state of Arizona and is confident in its operations and its immense contribution to the community. Guided by its Compassionate Spirit and a commitment to Dignity for People and Pets, the organization is empowered to stand up for its beliefs and communicate the gravity of an extreme pet overpopulation crisis. The Arizona Humane Society can, unapologetically, discuss its tireless dedication to doing what’s best for the animals in the context of the harsh realities that cannot be solved without the community’s commitment to alleviating the pet overpopulation crisis. Joy of Pets Joy of Pets is deeply rooted in the organization’s heritage. This dimension suggests AHS is proud of its pets and enjoys the responsibility of compassionately stewarding the lives of animals. For many decades, the television show Pets on Parade, the Pet Telethon, and other less visible programs have highlighted the joy a pet offers. Joy of Pets evokes this emotion in potential forever families and begins to foreshadow how their lives can be enriched by an Arizona Humane Society pet. Joy of Pets suggests a personality that is caring but also spirited and playful. Joy of Pets is built on a relationship of trust and a genuine Compassionate Spirit.
