Rescue Me Tucson

PET ADOPTION CENTER: Our Rescue Me Marana pet adoption center completed its third full year of adoptions helping 4 different shelters rescues to adopt their animals. We expanded our activities and took on care of several animals requiring unique medical attention.

EDUCATION: We advised victims who purchased sick puppies from unscrupulous pet stores about Arizonas Puppy Lemon Law which reimburses only the purchase price of the sick pet. While this helps a bit they did not cover any veterinary bills nor did they make up for the trauma these pet owners endured. Through media outreach we helped educate those chossing to buy from a for-profit pet store of the risks associated with the transactions namely that certain for-profit pet stores may put profits ahead of the health and welfare of the mother and her pups. We connected people having to surender their pets to reputable rescue groups and shelters. We helped people who wanted a pure-bread dog with resource on how to find responsible breeders and others to find low-cost veterinary care and pet food.
