We are so excited to be partnering with Maricopa County Attorney's Office to spread awareness on the dangers of hot cars!🔥🌡️   Your car can become a deadly oven in just minutes. If you see a child or pet in a hot car and believe they are in imminent danger of physical injury or death, here how you can help: 🔥Call 911 🔥Determine if the vehicle is locked. 🔥If locked, you may break the window. Do not use more force than is necessary. 🔥Remain with the child or pet until the authorities arrive.   You are protected under the Samitaran Hot Car Law (HB-2494) to use reasonable force to remove a child or domestic animal from a locked motor vehicle and not liable for damages.

We are in an URGENT capacity crisis‼ Population growth, increased home prices and evictions, inflation, and lack of affordable pet friendly housing and veterinary care has created a worst-case scenario for our community. “Clearing our adoption kennels of healthy pets provides us with the best opportunity to continue to serve more sick, injured, and abused pets across the Valley”, said Dr. Steven Hansen, President and CEO of AHS. Now until July 7, ALL PETS are $0 in an effort to empty the shelter thanks to our friends at BISSELL Pet Foundation.
