About Us

People for Paws AZ Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)3 dog rescue that focuses on saving homeless and helpless dogs in Arizona. Our mission is to provide a safe space and forever home to all neglected, abandoned, and abused dogs as well as promoting compassion, in-home training, and humane treatment in the community.

Most of our adoptable dogs have been saved from municipal shelters in Arizona. Each dog is in a foster home, which allows the dog to learn house manners, how to interact with a family, and receive lots of love. Since all our dogs are in foster homes, People for Paws AZ Rescue knows every dog’s personality, likes/dislikes, and special quirks allowing us to place them into their perfect fur-ever home!

While in foster, all People for Paws AZ Rescue dogs are put through our “Doggy Boot Camp” training program that has been developed by a team of expert dog trainers to prepare them for life as your new best friend. All of our dogs are exposed to many experiences to set them up for success with their new family.

P4PAZ Rescue is committed to giving adopters all information about our dogs to find the pur-fect match. Every dog is properly vetted and microchipped prior to adoption. Adoption fees help cover our rescue costs and allows us to continue saving more dogs.

People for Paws AZ Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and receives no tax or government funding. We do not sell, rent, or share our supporter information with any other organizations or third parties.
