About this shelter

Help A Dog Smile in Phoenix, AZ

Help A Dog Smile (HADS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Arizona. Our mission is to find loving homes for stray dogs and those on euthanasia lists at kill shelters across the state. Currently, we do not accept owner surrenders due to limited resources. When we identify a dog without an owner, we place the animal in a boarding facility or foster home, where it can receive the necessary care and attention. This process includes a veterinary check-up, vaccinations, and typically spay or neuter surgery. Once the dog is healthy, we work to find a permanent, loving home where it can live happily.
