| Rue's Rescue Is a Reminder of Heat Risk to Pets |
| |
 |
| |
When Rue, a 16-week-old stray German Shepherd puppy, was found tied to a pole with no owner, food, water, or shelter in sight, she was already in heat distress. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan called for help, and our Emergency Animal Medical Technicians rescued her in the nick of time. Rue’s survival is just one example of the life-saving interventions our team is making across the Valley this summer. So far this year, we’ve responded to nearly 1,200 heat-related calls, a stark reminder that extreme temperatures remain a serious threat to our community’s pets. And Rue is far from alone. We're seeing a 10% increase in animal intake compared to this time last year, and are on pace for another record-breaking year. As the need continues to climb, so does our commitment to being there for every animal with nowhere else to turn.

Be a Constant in a Year of Record Need
What if we told you, for less than a dollar a day, you could save pets all year long and also unlock a $40,000 gift for the Valley’s most vulnerable animals? This month, if we can get 100 animal lovers to become Constant Companion monthly donors (at $25 or more a month), our longtime friend Skip Pollock will generously donate $40,000 in memory of Ken Pollock to save even more lives! Constant Companion monthly donors will help provide a safety net for the 28,000 sick, injured and abused pets we are projected to care for this year. Can we count on you to be one of the 100?

2026 Legislative Session Recap
The 2026 legislative session brought meaningful progress for Arizona's veterinary community. Building on last year's historic passage of Jerry's Law, we secured a major win for the Veterinary Loan Assistance Program, doubling repayment assistance to $200,000 per veterinarian, and advanced telemedicine legislation that modernizes how veterinarians can prescribe medications remotely. While our Certified Veterinary Technician alternate pathway bill didn't cross the finish line this session, the bipartisan support it received has set the stage for next year.

The Internet Loves Cat Dads. We Need Them Right Meow.
Just in time for Father’s Day, the rise of the “cat dad” is real: a recent study found that cat ownership among men is climbing fast, and we’re so excited to see more of these dynamic duos. It turns out this bond goes beyond feel-good moments as research shows pet companionship can reduce stress and support mental well-being. But while more people are embracing kitty companionship, homeless kittens and puppies in the Valley are in need of help right now. Our Bottle Baby ICU has already cared for more than 1,000 orphaned puppies and kittens since the season started. During National Foster a Pet Month and Adopt a Cat Month this June, the need for fosters, adopters and volunteers is urgent. We’re asking our most dedicated animal lovers to please step up and help us save the tiniest, most vulnerable lives in our community as we navigate this high-impact time of year. The difference you can make is lifesaving.

| Murphy’s Second Chance at Snuggles |
| |
|
| |
Meet Murphy, a 9-year-old Chinese Sharpei/Labrador Retriever mix with a gentle heart and a remarkable comeback story. Rescued during a cruelty investigation, Murphy arrived underweight, injured and badly in need of care. Our medical team cleaned him up, treated his wounds, fixed his teeth and helped him start gaining strength.
Now, Murphy is thriving. He loves Dog Field Trips, walks nicely on a leash and already knows “sit” and “shake.” This sweet senior would love a patient person who’ll earn his trust, enjoy long strolls and save room for cuddles. Think Murphy could be your perfect match? Come meet him at our Papago Park Campus or learn more at azhumane.org/adopt.

| Sunshine is a testament to the transforming power of compassion. When she arrived at the Arizona Humane Society, this mama dog was shy and scared. With patience, foster care and lots of love, Sunshine blossomed into the happy, confident dog she is today. Watch her journey here. #trendingonsocial |
