About
The Director started it all by volunteering at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control as an adoption counselor. She then went on to fostering for them as well. After networking with many people and the encouragement of her family, she retired from the teaching field in May 2010 and started AZ Furry Friends Rescue Foundation. Her daughter-in-law jumped on board and the two of them run the Rescue. Over the course of a year and a half, they have taken on volunteers and foster parents, and they couldn't have grown without them!
AZ Furry Friends Rescue is a New Hope Partner with MCACC and a Rescue Partner with Arizona Humane Society. It is a goal in the near future to also be a member of PAC911. Our long term goals include sponsoring a feral colony, set up a community spay/neuter program and have a facility.
We do this for the love of cats and dogs, and to bring people and pets together.
We have two locations that our Rescue does adoption from. The first one is the Metrocenter Petco at 2784 W. Peoria Ave. (Peoria and 28th Drive) in Phoenix. We are there every Saturday from 10:00-4:00, and on Sunday from 12:00-4:00. The second location is the Laveen Petco at 5260 W. Baseline (Baseline and 51st Ave). in Laveen. The store has stationary cat kennels, where the cats hang out until they get adopted. The adoption counselors are either there with the cats or on call, and the Petco staff can reach them to answer questions or to come in for an adoption. Occasionally we participate in events with other rescues, so stay tuned for details on our next event!
Besides our website, you can follow us on Facebook and Petfinder.
