Best Dog Adoption Places In Phoenix Near Me

4worldlovers: Arizona Small Dog Rescue is a team of committed and passionate volunteers and staff who have dedicated their lives to dog rescue in Phoenix, AZ. We help shelter small dogs who have been abandoned, neglected, abused, or are unwanted. Our shelter is a fully registered nonprofit and no-kill facility, and we’ve been named a Top Rated Nonprofit by Great NonProfits. We stretch our donation dollars as far as possible! Our team helps save, foster, and shelter many hundreds of these precious dogs each year across the Valley. We also help facilitate dog adoptions to find loving homes for these friendly, affectionate animals.

At Arizona Small Dog Rescue, we perform many different functions as a part of our commitment to saving and caring for these small and helpless animals. When a dog comes into our care, we not only spay and neuter, but we also perform vaccinations, medical exams, microchipping, and finding foster homes when needed to ensure they are in loving care while waiting for a forever family. We primarily shelter smaller dogs, but do take in a few medium to large sized dogs if space at the facility allows.

Our staff and volunteers work tirelessly to rescue countless dogs in Phoenix and the entire Valley, and we humbly accept your donations to keep our services going. We do accept supplies both new and used, and any donated supplies we can't use or already have will be donated forward to other resuces and non-profits to make sure your contribution will end up where it's needed most!

Each donation big or small goes directly towards supporting our never-ending work in saving the lives of as many dogs as possible, and finding the right families and permanent homes to pair them with.

4worldlovers: Some of our wonderful dogs and cats have an extended stay with us, and others require special training, surgeries, and other types of care. Your gift helps us help them and other needy cats and dogs. Click here on DONATE and choose Sponsor An Animal.


The staff and volunteers at Home ‘Fur’ Good provide its animals with a clean and comfortable place to sleep, nutritious food to eat, excellent medical care, daily exercise, and an overdose of love and affection.

We hope you’ll consider being a part of the Home ‘Fur’ Good family by becoming a donor, volunteer, or adopter.​

125,000+ nights of safe care provided to pets in our Temporary Care Program


Tempe PD has access to our shelter 24 hrs a day/365 days a year, so pets can always be brought to safety.

Now people don’t have to choose between helping their pets and getting the help they need.

When people are facing times of crisis that jeopardize their ability to care and provide for their pets, we are here to help.

Domestic violence affects both people and their pets and prompts many victims to remain in abusive situations for fear of having nowhere to escape to with their pet. Lost Our Home is committed to changing that uncertainty into assurance through our life-saving partnership with the largest domestic violence shelter in Arizona.

Homeless individuals often rely on their pets for comfort and companionship. To remain together, many choose to forgo shelters or job training opportunities for fear of being separated from their companions. Lost Our Home makes it possible for people to receive job training without leaving their pet behind.

Having no one to care for a precious pet when unexpected medical emergencies, surgeries or illness force people and their pets apart, can leave many uncertain of how to not only care for themselves, but for their pet as well. Lost Our Home supports families suffering from these medical emergencies.

Financial Hardships wreak havoc on people’s lives and the wellbeing of their pets. Eviction, foreclosure, fires, floods…all these force people and pets into unknown territory. We can help in this period of uncertainty by caring for pets and assuring they are in good hands—easing some of the pressure on pet owners.

Pets are family members. That’s what drives our vision. Lost Our Home is dedicated to bridging the care gap between people who find themselves in crisis and the pets who often have no place to go during these challenging circumstances.

We are focused on finding long-term solutions and making long-lasting impact. Our mission is community-focused; our approach, unique. We envision a caring community without barriers or divides between human crisis response and pet crisis response because we recognize that what impacts people directly impacts their pets.

Lost Our Home Pet Rescue is the only non-profit, no-kill pet rescue based in Tempe whose mission is dedicated to providing compassionate services to pets and pet parents in crisis. Whether it be foreclosure, homelessness, job loss, illness, domestic violence or any other hardship, we are there to serve pets and pet parents in the Valley who don’t know where to turn. Often, we are their very last hope. For many pet owners with few resources, the only other option is surrendering their pet(s) to overcrowded shelters where they face an uncertain future, and even death. Lost our Home is committed to helping pets and people and ensuring that our pets face a different future—a certain future that’s fulfilling, happy, healthy, and with a loving family.

For nearly 15 years Lost Our Home has been changing the fate of pets who otherwise would have no future. Read our stories and see how in even the most dire of circumstances, there’s always hope.

“When we run into situations with pets that need extra TLC, we know the team at Lost Our Home will make sure they get it. We also know they’ll make sure the pets are kept safe while waiting for their owner to return, or that they will be adopted into loving new homes when needed. It’s a win-win for pets and people.”
