I had lived there since June 2025 with zero issues, but everything changed the moment my son needed medical help. On 9/24/25, I informed them that my 14-year-old autistic son had been admitted to an inpatient psychiatric facility for suicidal ideations. Only two days later, on 9/26/25, staff member Sofia Spanarkel contacted me demanding that I sign over his private medical records. House of Refuge is not a medical or psychiatric facility and is not covered under HIPAA, so I asked for their specific concerns in writing. They never responded. Instead, without warning, I was issued a 30-day notice to vacate on 10/3/25. After months of having no issues, the timing makes the motive impossible to ignore. It felt like direct retaliation for refusing to hand over my child's sensitive medical information. When I submitted a formal complaint to the director, Kayla Kolar, I was not met with any explanation or concern--instead, I received an email stating that all communication must go through their lawyer. For a place that claims to support families in crisis, this response was deeply unsettling. Families dealing with medical emergencies deserve compassion and support, not intimidation or displacement. No parent should ever feel punished for protecting their child's privacy. Based on my experience, I strongly warn other families to think twice before relying on House of Refuge.

    We adopted our pup friend in February. We have owned many dogs over the years and have dealt with…read moreseveral shelters. We have found that this shelter really cares about their pups, especially what type of home an adoptee is going to be part of. They do a great job of matching up their new family members. Our pup has become the BEST addition to our family. She was from a hoarding situ and was skittish, but she has become one of the sweetest family members we have ever had and we ADORE her! Valley Dogs is an extremely caring group that really does match up pups and their families. We are grateful they care so much about the pups in need! We highly recommend them for adopting your next family member. They truly are an awesome group!

    Valley Dogs is a local rescue group run by the most compassionate people I have ever met. I have…read morefostered dogs for several local and non-local rescue groups including Valley Dogs, but what strikes me most about Valley Dogs is the animals they choose to pull from the shelters. Valley Dogs is run by a man named Michael West. From what I've observed, Michael chooses to take on the dogs that need the most help medically - the dogs hit by cars, obese owner surrenders, pregnant owner surrenders, older dogs with big hearts (figuratively) and medical conditions... I am not sure how he manages to finance all of this. Valley Dogs holds a few fund raisers through out the year, but I know the cost to get his dogs in good enough health to be adopted must be daunting. I can see the stress in his face every time I see him. However, he keeps pulling dogs in great need from the shelter because I don't think he can turn away. All of Valley Dogs rescues are fostered before they go up for adoption. This is a fantastic thing. Michael takes on a lot of these dogs. There is always a beautiful and kind red head (his wife?) that is with him at the adoptions and an older veteran as well. They foster a lot of the dogs, too. They know the quirks and idiosyncrasies of each of the dogs they foster. This helps with placement. I love this group. They are human, but they must be hidden angels because the dogs they are helping are the ones most definitely the most in need. They are very often at the PetsMart on 20th and Highland on the weekends trying to find homes for their dogs. If you see them and want a specific type of dog, I would imagine they would scour the shelters for you

We were all pack the good bags for 3,000 bags and it was the fast track as everyone tried their bags to make sure everything went very well. The staffs here( at this location specifically) are super friendly and they are well organized which make the work run smoothly. If anyone looking for volunteering and not sure which one to start, try the United Food Bank, helping our community--together we can achieve more :) I will definitely be there again soon.

Our task was to sort foods into various categories in order for the Food Bank to be able to fill order requests for various distribution sites (such as other food banks, domestic violence centers, homeless shelters, etc.). Our shift was from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. and everything was started on time with an intro into the purpose of the bank and the purpose of United Way overall. We broke out into "teams" and were assigned tasks from there and everything got underway. By 11 a.m. we had wrapped up all of the food needing to be sorted / boxed and we were able to leave early. Notes: wear weather appropriate clothes (it's not climate controlled) and wear closed toes shoes for safety Overall: A It's a charity and it's a chance to volunteer and give back - what's not to love??

Don't listen to the bad reviews!!…read more The best things that ever happened to me was getting my application rejected because that forced me to start volunteering with them. I am now a member of the board, have adopted 2 dogs through them, raise money for them, and will do anything for this rescue. It's crazy to me that some people would give a 1 star review because their application got denied! We receive tons of applications and sometimes you just aren't the right fit. It happened to me and i didn't cry about it and try to ruin the reputation of the rescue. Shelly has done more for the breed that anyone else in the state of Arizona and maybe even in the entire United States. She has devoted her life to helping these dogs and you attack her and the rescue because you got denied. I have been going to our weekly pack walks for the past 5 years and have never seen any of the people who leave bad reviews show up once. You should be ashamed of yourself for giving these bad reviews. Grow up. This is an amazing rescue built on the backs of volunteers and amazing people like Shelly and her husband Dustin. I will live and die by this rescue and challenge anyone who has anything negative to say. Either show up or shut up. ROTTEN ROTTIE RESCUE FOR LIFE

Every single person I interacted with was awesome, welcoming, and friendly! My work provides 16 hours a year to volunteer. I used 6 of them on Saturday. I was tasked with directing cars to merge into 2 different lanes so that they could get checked in to go through the process of getting their Covid 19 vaccination. Most people pulling in the lot seemed happy to be there and I was giving and receiving lots of thumbs up throughout the day! Staff constantly checked in on me and they had unlimited beverages (water, vitamin water, Gatorades, soda etc) being walked around and at the break tent (It was warm out, about 85 and I was in direct sun the whole time.) They also provided sunscreen and hand sanitizer which was awesome! I even scored my first Pfizer dose of the vaccine (perk for volunteering)! I had a GREAT time volunteering and you could tell that they appreciated the 100 or so volunteers that worked on Saturday. It was for a great cause and if I do any volunteer work in the future, I will definitely sign up for projects through HandsOn! Good times!
