Looking for a new four-legged family member? Try these guys. They're one of the few animal rescue…read moreorganizations with a true "no-kill" policy - they keep their animals until they can find a forever family. They've saved more than 9,000 dogs and cats from Maricopa County's euthanasia lists since 1995. I've adopted two wonderful dogs from them over the years. And now, to thank them for matching me with such great critters, I volunteer my time walking dogs for them, since they have no central facility. Most of their animals reside in volunteer foster homes and leased boarding facilities. Their matchmaking process is superb - they are truly committed to finding the perfect home for each animal.

LOH gave me something I badly needed during one of the hardest chapters of my life: peace of mind…read more Knowing that the love of my life -- my ESA Yorkie, Praise -- was safe, cared for, and loved allowed me to focus on picking up the broken pieces of my life and rebuilding my stability. They went above and beyond for us. LOH and their volunteer foster families honored my request to visit Praise every other weekend and even allowed me to bathe him at their facility because he's so sensitive about being groomed since he is very tiny and has very sensitive skin. Those small acts of kindness made an enormous difference for my and Praise's well-being. When I finally reached a place of stability, I was able to bring Praise home -- bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, full of joy, and with lots of toys and kibble -- and together we moved into our new home to continue our healing journey. I can't wait to give back to LOH and volunteer my time to support others who are facing the same struggles I went through. They've welcomed both me and Praise to volunteer. LOH and their volunteer foster families are truly a lifeline for anyone who has an emotional support animal or beloved pet and needs a safe place for them while they rebuild their life. They give you the comfort of knowing your companion is safe, cared for, and waiting for you when you're ready.

Boyfriend and I stumbled upon them and saw this pretty white mutt and both went "we like her!". Danielle and he team encouraged us to play with the dogs and get to know them. We have been wanting a dog but were apprehensive because we have two older cats. Danielle told us about the foster to adopt program she has where you can take the dog for a bit and see I'd they are a good fit. Our dogs name was Cupcake because that's what danielle and her team named her when they rescued her. Anyway we brought puppy home and she she fit right in. She was intrigued by the cats but not very aggressive. She was a good girl. Danielle said she was up to date on her shots and everything including being spayed. After a week we told Danielle that we wanted to keep the dog and that we renamed her Milly. We were in love and Danielle was extremely happy. This is how awesome Danielle and her team are: they actually didn't have room to rescue Milly, but because she was so sweet and Danielle knew she would make someone very happy, she took her in anyway. Danielle is so passionate about her work and she enjoys it so much. Please adopt! These animals just want to be loved and need a little TLC and patience. Help support a group like A Dog's Tale because they and the dogs deserve it!!

What I observed there are people who are working tirelessly to remove dogs from kill shelters, accept owner surrenders, and give these dogs a chance to be adopted. Yes, I smelled pee (because dogs pee!). This is a place that has so many dogs and limited resources. I believe it is run with what is available, and with trying to save the overwhelming number of homeless and neglected dogs.

They also wanted updates on him and how he was settling in and it was just all around an awesome experience and we absolutely LOVE our new dog!! He is such a sweetie pie and exactly how they described him. I got a like 8 page meticulous medical report on him and his health because he was part of a group of dogs they got from an overcrowded home and quite a few were sick when they got them. It was such a great experience and when we are ready to get another dog, we will absolutely be back! Couldn't recommend this rescue more!!!

We knew no one knew much about the little fella. He melted our heart, and our daughter had fish, hermit crabs, birds, and cats, but never had a dog yet. He melted our hearts. When we picked him up he grabbed onto us. And didn't want to be put back down. Needless to say we came home with a pup and cat food. He needed some veterinary care. After a week he was doing great. He has gluten, soy, and dairy allergies just like us, so he was a perfect fit. We were perfect for him as well since our eyes were open to his needs and how to feed him. We have had him 13 years now. He is 14 and is still the same happy silly pup. I don't know how they obtain dogs these days, but we are thankful he is a part of our lives.

We knew we wanted a female dog under 15 lbs & a dog that came up to our special needs son, without that then we'd be leaving empty handed. The search was finished once we came across our 6 yr old Stella, she immediately came up to all of us... such a friendly, lovey dog that just arrived 5 days prior to us meeting her!! She's a pure bred pug therefore she still needed to be sprayed & we had to come back the following day between 3-5pm to pick her up.... perfectly fine because it gave me time to go on a shopping spree for anything pink! The adoption fee was $250 plus $14 for her pain meds which was optional. We picked up Stellar the following day with her chip, plus 30 day pet insurance to give us time to sign her up with our own choice & an e-collar to wear for 14 days because of the stitches plus a four day supply of a daily pain med. Now we were anticipating the introduction to our other dog, Sage... at first Sage was scared because of the e-collar but once they finished inspecting each other all was good as if they've been together for years! Stella got attached to all of us immediately & is great with our nonverbal autistic son! Since bringing Stella home we've received all of her medical records via email from Maricopa County. The process was smooth & everyone was extremely helpful with the whole process. Our Stella is so well behaved which means her parents were very good to her thankfully because there's no sign of past abuse! We couldn't be any happier with our choice in Stella & with the location of the West Valley!
