Hi, I'm Dakota!

I'm a pretty 1.5-year-old girl, and I'm looking for a home! I was transferred to HSSA from a different shelter, and am so happy to find a family in Tucson.

I'm a very active girl, and love to go for my daily walks and to play group! If you have a current dog, you should bring them over to do a meet and greet so that HSSA can make sure everyone gets along well.

If you're looking for a sporty dog to join your home I might be the perfect fit! Stop by HSSA Main Campus at 3450 N. Kelvin Blvd. to meet me today, or give an adoption counselor a call at 520-327-6088 ext 173 for more information!

Lots of love,
Dakota (838950)

Hi, I'm Malory!

I'm a 1-year-old little girl and I'm looking for a home! I've been at HSSA since February, because they noticed that my heart seemed bigger than usual. I passed all the staff veterinarian's tests and have even had an special ultrasound to make sure that I am as healthy as I am happy!

I know how to sit for treats, love car rides and enjoy snuggles! If you're looking for a dog with a big heart (literally), I might be the perfect fit your home!

If you have a current dog don't forget that you can bring them over to HSSA Main Campus at 3450 N. Kelvin Blvd. to do a doggy meet and greet! If you want more information, or to check on my status give HSSA a call at 520-327-6088 ext. 173.

Lots of love,
Malory (838604)

HI, I'm Boris!

I'm a handsome 14 year old boy and I need a new home! I'm trained to use my litter box and love to be petted. I'm looking for a home where I can get the love and attention a deserve! Some people look over me because of my age, but I think being a senior pet is what makes me special!

Right now I live at HSSA Main Campus at 3450 N. Kelvin Blvd., but you won’t find me a kennel. I’m a special boy, so I get to roam around some of the employee offcies. Stop by to meet me today and don't forget that I have a lower adoption fee because of my age!

I need a home, but if you aren't looking to adopt you can still help homeless pets like me by donating to HSSA's fund to build a new home!

They are asking people like you to help them raise 3 million dollars! Click here for more information about the new shelter and how you can help today!

If you want to give me a home give HSSA a call at 520-327-6088 ext. 173 for more information!

Lots of love,
Boris (771563)

Hi, I'm Lady!

I'm a silly, 2-year-old girl and I'm looking for a home! I know how to sit for treats like a good girl and in my previous home I got along well with other dogs and was crate trained!

If you have little kids bring them over for a meet and greet because sometimes I get so excited and forget my size. Typical Boxer, right? ;)

Stop by HSSA Main Campus at 3450 N. Kelvin Blvd. to meet me or give an adoption counselor a call at 520-327-6088 ext. 173 for more information!

I hope to meet you soon!

Lots of love,

Hi, I'm Mickey!

I'm a handsome 3-year-old boy and I’m looking for a new home! I have been homeless now for over 90 days and HSSA cannot figure out why, I’m a really good boy.

I get along with other dogs and would do great in a home where I can get ample exercise and play time, plus I’m house broken!

I need a home, but if you aren't looking to adopt you can still help homeless pets like me by donating to HSSA's fund to build a new home! We are asking people like you to help us raise 3 million dollars! Click here for more information about the new shelter and how you can help today!

It’s time to put those canines on display!


The Humane Society of Southern Arizona is attempting to break the world record for the most dogs in one photograph. Owners should bring their pooches to La Encantada tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. to appear in the shot.


HSSAZ needs a minimum of 200 dogs to show up for the event, but hopes the turnout will be double that.


Although world records have previously been set for categories like ‘most dogs attending a sport

ing event’ and ‘most dogs wearing a bandana in one place,’ the Humane Society’s goal for this photo is a bit simpler. It doesn’t require dogs to belong to a certain breed or don a costume.


“We wanted to make sure our event was inclusive of all dogs,” said Andrea Mitchell, Humane Society of Southern Arizona public relations coordinator.


While the event is free to the public, participants are encouraged to donate at least $10. Proceeds will count toward the Humane Society’s fundraising goal for the Arizona Gives Day campaign on April 4. Arizona Gives Day helps nonprofit charitable organizations obtain financial support and bring awareness to their respective causes. The Humane Society aims to raise $80,000 this year.


“It seems pretty lofty, but Tucson is full of pet lovers who will rally behind us to reach that goal,” Mitchell said. “This is really the community’s animal welfare organization because we couldn’t be here without every donation.”


In addition to providing vaccinations, shelter and adoption services, the Humane Society educates the public on fighting problems associated with pet homelessness. Mitchell explained that the Humane Society spreads the message about the importance of spaying, neutering and properly caring for animals in southern Arizona.


“We are here for pets and the people who love them,” Mitchell said of the Humane Society's mission. “We want to make sure that our pet-loving community always has the opportunity to bond together.”


And whether you or your dog is the family’s publicity hound, be sure to arrive early to secure a good spot for the photo. Registration opens at 9 a.m. in the dirt lot adjacent to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill.


Dogs must remain on their leashes at all times. Mitchell mentioned there will be plenty of water stations set up, and owners can also bring treats, toys and "whatever else will get their dogs to 'stay' and smile."

Hi, I'm Okra!

I'm a fun 11-month-old boy and I'm looking for a home!

I'm totally a dog's dog and would love to find a home where I can get ample exercise, play time, cuddles, and even a doggy friend to spend my time with!

I hope you're looking for a big dog, because I already weigh almost 70 pounds! I would benefit from some basic obedience training to help me learn a few tricks and commands.

If you're looking for a cool dog to join your home I might be the perfect fit! Stop by HSSA Main Campus at 3450 N. Kelvin Blvd. or give an adoption counselor a call at 520-327-6088 ext. 173 with questions or for more information!

I hope to see you soon!

Lots of love,
