The two girls at the desk are jibber-jabbering with each other. One looks up long enough to say "Take a number". Take a number and sit down. They continue their conversation. Other people come in. Some are told to take numbers, while others are allowed to have extended conversations with the clerks. How they determine who gets immediate service and who has to wait is a mystery. After a time, one girl gets up and wanders off somewhere, while the other talks on the phone. This goes on for a while until they call your number, at which time you show them your ID and they look you up in the system, hand you a card and tell you to go park your car around the side of the building. While you wait, other cars pull up, have their boxes loaded almost immediately, while you sit there and wait. And wait. Finally someone comes out and sticks a box of food in your car and life goes on.

I used to go to Habitat store on 9133 W. Grand Ave, so decided to stop there today June-14-2024,…read morebut everything has changed inside from what it used to be. It's now more like going to a retail store, no more junky stuff like it used to be, which I liked. The West part of the store, used to have carpet tiles, used hardware, some donated tools and machines, now all I saw was a few Doors. I like hardware, old bed frames and such, bolts and nuts, and junky stuff to sort through. I'm sure the people that run the store will have an excuse for the change, but if this is the way it will stay, then I wont be back anytime soon; as I will frequent the Thrift Stores and Estate Sales to get my DIY items. I believe Habitat for Humanity help a lot of people, and supported Jimmy Carter and his wife for what they did, but the change in store priorities wasn't to my liking. Just my Humble Opinion.

She's been great and I was so impressed with the experience I had with this rescue that I started volunteering there. The rescue takes in mostly German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois from puppies to seniors and from various backgrounds - strays, owner surrenders, from other shelters (some on the e-list), medical hardships, etc. Once under SPRA care the dogs are well fed, are walked and/or get play time outside of their kennels 4 times a day, receive medical care if needed, etc. The volunteers and staff also work with the dogs on socialization and basic training. It's also important to know that SPRA is a no kill shelter. Bottom line, if you're looking for a German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois please check out Saving Paws Rescue Arizona. They have so many wonderful dogs looking for a family like my pup pictured below, adopt don't shop.
