The Best Dog Rescues in Pima County

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 3.1 million dogs enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year.

Even though 2 million dogs are adopted every year, approximately 390,000 shelter dogs are still euthanized every year. Sad.

You can help dogs that end up in shelters/rescues by adopting these dogs.

We have researched and compiled a list of the best dog rescues in your area.

We should mention that our list is not exhaustive because any non-profit organization that takes dogs off the streets and offers dogs second chances deserves to be on our list. However, we do not have the space to include everyone.

If you know of any reputable dog rescue that we have not included on our list, please drop the name of the rescue in our comment section below.

Note that the animal rescues listed in this article did not pay us to include them in the list. We did our research without bias.

As a disclaimer, we will like to advise you to do your due diligence before working with any of the listed dog rescue organizations.

Also, always conduct your research and consult with specialists in your region before making any pet-related decisions.

    8. The Mission Statement of Claws and Paws Rescue: “Claws and Paws Rescue is a 501(c)(3) No-kill Foster Based Rescue founded in August of 2015. Inspired by a little kitten named Frog who was born with backwards knees; he was rescued from the county shelter by his foster mom when he was just a few weeks old. Shortly after his rescue he was taken to a local vet who suggested he be euthanized, because his legs could not be fixed. However, lucky for him, his foster mom did not agree and refused to have him euthanized. Telling the vet she just wasn’t ready.  Then she took him for a 2nd opinion to another vet who specialized in orthopedic veterinary cases.  Well, needless to say the 2nd vet said, “Yes, his legs cannot be FIXED”. However he saw no reason to euthanize him. As long as Frog is able to get around and he is happy there is no reason to kill him. Thank goodness his foster mom was stubborn and refused to give up on him and has made him a permanent part of her family. He is now a happy and healthy boy, who does not let his legs slow him down one bit.

    To Date Claws and Paws has rescued over 1400 animals.”
