Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.
IMPORTANT: This form is only for public comments about the shelter. To contact Desert Paws Rescue (Mesa), please go directly to their website (link on previous page), this form will not send your comment to them.
Live in an active 55+ community in Mesa. Recently I’ve discovered two domesticated cats that were abandoned by snowbirds. They both are loving pets but due to leasing commitments, I am unable to adopt them. If your organization could assist me in re- homing them, I would gladly contribute to their care as much as I can afford as I am on a fixed income.
I have 11 dogs n a puppy need taking in. me n my wife can no longer keep them since we are homeless now and living in our van....we love them dearly we just want them to go to loving homes...it breaks my heart to give them away but we need to....they range in age from 3 years old to 6/7 months...if yall can help it will be appreciated
I have 7 cats that need new homes asap. 6 of them are all varied shades of striped tabby(?) and one is black. There are 3 females from one litter that will be 1yr in October and 4 6 month old kittens from another litter; 3 male and 1 female. Their mother was a stray that I took in unaware at the time she was pregnant. My bf and I decided to keep the kittens after the mother disappeared until she showed back up a few months later with 4 more kittens and has not been seen since. I wanted to keep all of them but am unable to do something as my landlord is not renewing my lease due to late rent payments over this past year so we have find a new home and we simply cannot afford to take care of them any longer and no one will rent to 7 cats. They are all very friendly and well social and I do not want to have to re home them but I have no alternative. I don't want them left to fend for themselves if I end up homeless again so if you or someone else can take any or all at least I'll know they have a chance of finding a good home.
Hello - our son Taylor has a rescue dog "Buster" - large mix breed (lab and ?? 120 lbs) - very friendly and gets along well with other dogs (big and small) - Buster is part of our family, and our son does not want to part, but for the next 30-60 days has no where to keep him - we are looking for low cost boarding as an option where we could visit Buster and ocassionally take him out for play time, and then when Taylor gets into a new appartment/house he would take him back.... any suggestions or references would be greatly appreciated. PS - his budget is about 20 bucks a day and so far we are only finding boarding at 30/day

We have a Chihuahua mix that we found along a busy highway. We have no room as we have several dogs already. He is beautiful and friendly now that he is no longer scared. No chip, no collar, no tags of course. We have him posted on all the social media we can but afraid he was abandoned due to the location we found him. Can your shelter take him in?

Good afternoon,
Are you taking in any cats right now? I have a spayed 4yr old female, I have had her since she was 4 wks old. I am looking for her another home. She has had two aggressive episodes with me within the last 8 months. She is good with my daughter who has a strong personality. She is locked up in my room but my daughter does feed her.
I took her to vet and nothing is wrong. I am a submissive person for her and I am going through anxiety and depression at the moment. My other daughter wants to move back home but she can’t until I find a rescue/home for the cat. This has been emotionally draining for me, I don’t have access to my master bedroom. My daughter can’t keep her in her room 24/7 because of her allergies.
Need to find a home for 3 kittens black and white 2 females one male mom is feral and I took them in at the time because of the heat I can no longer care for them so if anyone is interested in a kitten or can foster pz contact me 480 689 2374

10 yr old weegie. (Norwegian Forest cat). I've had him his whole life, and am no longer able to keep him and provide. He is black and white, around 16 or 17 lbs. He prefers a quiet, stable place with one or two people to love.
He's been neutered and only had first shots. He's been inside, and never had a flea or a tick.
email me at [email protected] if interested. Thank you!
