We have many programs to assist animals & our community
HSCAZ Resale Store & Vintage Boutique
Our 4,000+ square foot store sells gently-used clothing, housewares, electronics, home décor, books, furniture and more! We even have a vintage boutique filled with collectables and memories from the past.
Feeding Fido Pet Food Pantry
HSCAZ’s Feeding Fido program provides pet food for pet owners who are struggling to feed their pets due to financial hardship. Our goal is to help keep pets in their home and out of the shelter by providing assistance to those in need.
Foster Program
Foster homes are a vital part of our adoption program. We want every animal brought to us to have a chance for a long and happy life...
Recycling
HSCAZ is now collecting aluminum cans for recycling! All funds received from the recycling benefit the Humane Society of Central Arizona and their homeless pets!
Drop your aluminum cans off at the HSCAZ recycling center across from the animal shelter located at 605 W Wilson Ct. Cans may be dropped off any time 24/7. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at (928) 474-5590.
Humane Education
It is our mission at HSCAZ to promote humane values to benefit people and animals. With this goal in mind, we offer educational presentations to Payson schools that wish to participate in our Character Counts Project. This project is designed to complement the character education programs of local school and educate children about humane values. HSCAZ believes this will support the development of compassionate adults who embrace animals and strive to enhance the bond between people and animals for the rest of their lives.
For more information regarding the program or to schedule a presentation please email [email protected].
Humanitarian Hold
The Humane Society of Central Arizona’s Humanitarian Hold program provides short-term care for companion animals of at-risk individuals/families, elderly, disabled, and children who must leave their homes temporarily due to hospitalizations, rehabilitation, domestic violence, homelessness, or other life-altering circumstances. On average HSCAZ provides temporary housing for 60-80 animals every year.
The 30-day program provides food, care, and the daily needs to the animals housed during their temporary stay. The animal’s medical needs are met by providing vaccines for those who do not have them. We counsel the owners on the importance of spay and neuter and offer to enroll them into our voucher program (if available) so they can be altered at no cost to the owner. These actions have provided the comfort of knowing that their family members are being taken care of while these individuals/families work through their life-altering situation and will be reunited with their companion animal, giving hope for a brighter future.
Community Service
The Humane Society of Central Arizona does allow people to work off their court ordered community service hours, depending on the offense committed. Workers must be at least 18 years old and have not committed certain offenses.
