Program areas at Arizona Humane Society
Ahs' serves as a safety net for the valley's most vulnerable animals. Our lifesaving programs, including our lazin animal foundation trauma hospital, mutternity suites, kitten nursery, bottle baby kitten icu and parvo puppy icu save the lives of pets routinely euthanized in shelters. Last year, our trauma hospital treated 17,037 sick, injured and abused homeless pets more than 79 percent of all the animals who came through our doors. We also cared for 325 critically ill dogs in our parvo puppy icu and 607 moms and babies in our mutternity suites. Our kitten nursery and bottle baby kitten icu cared for 2,947 fragile felines.
Ahs' emergency animal medical technicians are on the road 365 days a year rescuing nearly 12,000 abused, injured and abandoned animals. We seek justice for abused animals, and our eamts partner with law enforcement to conduct 9,900 cruelty investigations each year. This past year, our eamts responded to 78 cases in which we seized 10 animals or more. We seized 1,576 animals total from these cases. We advance legislation to protect pets involved in the most horrific cases and advocate to fight cruelty and neglect. Ahs also serves as the designated responder for animals in distress during natural disasters.
Last year, ahs saved 15,744 animals through adoption and other placement outlets, and our ethical no-kill philosophy ensures we never euthanize a pet for space or length of time. We are also committed to keeping pets in homes by connecting pet owners with affordable medical, behavior and support services. Our pet resource center handles nearly 325 calls a day, helping to provide resources that help pets with their families. In addition, we provided spay/neuter surgery to 17,127 owned and shelter animals, helping to reduce pet overpopulation in our community, and veterinary services to 17,158 owned animals through our veterinary clinics. Our foster heroes expand our capacity for care, providing temporary homes for 400-800 pets at any given time, while our volunteers give over 70,281 hours of their time to our pets each year.
