Our Mission

Our mission is to rescue dogs that are abandoned, injured, or abused, and provide them with the care they need to recover and thrive. This includes rehabilitation, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and finding them loving, permanent homes. We are also dedicated to fostering a compassionate community through education and outreach, promoting responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of all animals.

Join Us for Adoption Clinics Every Sunday!

We invite you to our weekly adoption clinics held every Sunday from 12:00 pm to 3:30 pm at the PetSmart Pet Center, located at 1858 S Signal Butte Rd, Mesa, AZ—on the west side of Signal Butte, at the intersection of Signal Butte and the 60 Freeway, south of the 60.

About Our Adoption Clinics

At our clinics, we showcase dogs of all breeds, with a special focus on American Pitbull's and American Staffordshire Terriers. Each dog, regardless of breed, is welcomed with open arms, thoroughly evaluated, and provided with any necessary care before being placed in loving, private homes.

Adoption Process

To ensure the best fit for both the dog and the adopter, we have a comprehensive adoption process:

Application & Adoption Contract: Prospective adopters must complete a detailed application and sign an adoption contract.
Home Checks: Adoptive families will undergo home inspections for a period of one year to ensure the well-being of the adopted dog.
Adoption Fee: An adoption fee is required to help cover the cost of the dog’s care.
Penalties for Mistreatment: Our adoption contract includes financial penalties for any mistreatment of the adopted animal. We reserve the right to reclaim the animal if mistreatment occurs and may pursue legal action through the court system or law enforcement agencies if necessary.
Specific Requirements for "Bully" Breeds: Additional requirements apply for adopting "bully" breeds, which must be met by prospective adopters and their families.

Commitment to Quality Care

We are committed to ensuring that every adopted dog receives the best possible care and is placed in a home where they will be loved and respected. Our rigorous adoption process is designed to protect the dogs and ensure that they find safe, nurturing environments.

We look forward to meeting you and helping you find your new furry family member. For more information, please visit our website or contact us directly. Thank you for considering adopting a dog in need and for supporting our mission to provide loving homes for every dog.
