    We adopted a dog from them a couple weeks ago and everyone was so nice when we came in to meet him!…read moreI guess the dog we picked was a favorite and it really showed because everyone wanted to come say bye to him and was so excited he was getting a forever home and he was so excited when they came out which really shows how well they treated him. You can tell how much they care about the dogs they have there!! They also wanted updates on him and how he was settling in and it was just all around an awesome experience and we absolutely LOVE our new dog!! He is such a sweetie pie and exactly how they described him. I got a like 8 page meticulous medical report on him and his health because he was part of a group of dogs they got from an overcrowded home and quite a few were sick when they got them. It was such a great experience and when we are ready to get another dog, we will absolutely be back! Couldn't recommend this rescue more!!!

    My experience adopting a 9 or old shih-tzu has soured me on evercadopting another pet. I later…read morelearned just shortly after adopting her for $400 that she was actually much older than nine years. Two vets estimated her age to be 12 to 14 years old. We found out she couldn't see much at all. Thiscrescue had to know this information already. There was no mention at all about her health. I believe the foster knew too. The foster told us she felt this shih-tzu was much older!! Bottom line, I would not have adopted her if I knew she was much older than nine. $400 to get her at the end of her life. Sad. I love dogs and am giving her the best end of life years I can. But this experience with AZ small dog rescue was like a switch and bait, thought I was adopting a 9 or old with some decent years left. Instead, she is much older, blind and not healthy. These rescue places need to be more honest in their advertising.

Without making this too long, I have watched over the past couple years as AAWL has been in a steady decline and AHS has only gotten better. For example, AAWL is regularly turning away any surrendered animal that is going to cost them any significant amount of money; for example, if a cat needs a Dental, forget it! They will turn you and it away. Their intake staff has no medical professionals on it, no vets and no actual licensed vet techs. They have misdiagnosed the past five cats I have tried to surrender even after I showed up with actual vet records proving the surrendered pet(s) to be healthy as diagnosed by a DVM. Just check their website and you'll notice how few pets are up for adoption on any given day on their website, as opposed to AHS. AAWL has terrible customer service as well from the staff to leadership. I could go on with more detail, but the bottom line is AAWL is in trouble and AHS has become a top-notch animal rescue organization. Please don't give them your money! Go to AHS where they appreciate not just you but more importantly the animals in their care.

I had a very ill dog that was terminal, and we had finally decided. It was time to let him go as he was beginning to have days where he suffered a little. I couldn't afford any of the other places, but I checked with Arizona Humane Society anyway and their price was excellent. I did the type where you sit with your dog when they give it the tranquilizer then they leave you in a dimly lit room with soft music and led candles and when you've had enough time and said your goodbyes, you press the doorbell on the side of the wall and they come in and they take your sleeping pet into another room where they give it its final shot. For my size dog this service plus communal cremation cost $180. If you don't want to be there when they give the tranquilizer shot then it cost even less. They also have for a little bit more an option to get the ashes back and there's also options for nose, prints and paw prints in clay or ink but seriously you can do that yourself and save yourself money. I will say first before this happened. They did do a quick check up to verify the heart condition that he had and I brought medication showing that he was on it, but that it wasn't working anymore.

    I adopted my son (2.5-year-old rag doll cat) here this past June 2025 on one of their free adoption…read moredays. He was already neutered and had all of his vaccines. There was a medical disclosure online. that he had gingivitis, but as a first time cat owner, I researched that this is pretty common in young cats and can self resolve without treatment. About 1/2-year later, he still had the gingivitis. Since he was adopted from and already well known at this clinic, I scheduled an appointment for a dental cleaning/procedure of pulling infected teeth if needed here too, for continuity of care. Upon scheduling the appointment, I had to pay a 10% deposit fee over the phone by reading out my card number, which was about $90, assuming tooth would have to be pulled for total cost of $900 (I DO NOT HAVE PET INSURANCE). Due to this possibility of pulling teeth, this appointment was booked as a surgical procedure. They offer these appointments Monday through Thursday only and lasts all day: You are to drop off your animal at 7:45 AM and pick them up around 4 PM or earlier if the providers done earlier.) Prior to my appointment, I was texted a required prescreening questionnaire which I filled out prior to my appointment. It also came with preparation instructions including allowing your animal to drink water freely but have nothing to eat after midnight. On the day of the appointment, I arrived 15 minutes early as instructed, around 7:45 AM, but I found myself waiting outside the clinic as they opened at 8 AM. I checked in, and was almost immediately taken to a room to be triaged by the vet tech. Then the provider came in, examined my son, and took him back. He was ready for pickup around 3:30 PM, but I was busy and ended up picking him up at 4:30 PM, which did not prove to be an issue. He needed less work done than expected, so I ended up actually paying $375.50 by card (SEE SCREENSHOT ATTACHED FOR THE COST OF THE ENTIRE APPOINTMENT). He did not have any teeth pulled. All in all satisfied with my experience with this campus of the Arizona Humane Society! I adopted my boy from them, and he will continue to receive all of his care from them.

There were 4 workers around and we didn't hear 1peep out of them while they helped someone else for 27minutes. 23 minutes in another white person came and was given a complete welcome and offered a tour. Meanwhile we been standing there shocked at how they were being.... One worker helping a white patron and 3 others just standing behind the counter laughing and gossiping, eying us every now and then to see our reaction. You know I thought this was just a one time thing when they ignored us at Tempe Cares Day. I was asking about help for my standard poodle who we ended up having to put down. I explained in detail everything she needed help with and why. Both ladies just stared at me then one handed me a piece of paper. Not one word spoken! It's so freakin rude and upsetting when your dog is dying and you just want to help her! I'm convinced it's a color issue. I don't know what else it could be.

The best part is they informed us how their rescue works and assured us that they are there for us 100% through the whole process. Even after adopting your new pup. I love how super quick they are to responding to messages, emails, phone calls. They really want to find their puppies and dogs, a forever Home. We are happy with our new Pup Tank and we renamed him Milo. Thank you Follow Your Heart Rescue for allowing us to believe in 2nd chances and helping us find our new fur family member! He is so loved! Ohh and spoiled!

The event was a bit chaotic in knowing how to fill out what to get to meet a dog but it all worked out. We were shocked novody else was interested in this sweet boy and his foster eas very kind and informative to help us make sure he was a good fit for our home. They were also very patient with us running around to grab supplies. While the adoption fee is a bit higher than some rescues there is a tax break and it's nice that majority if the shots were paid and planned along with the neutering. Andy came home healthy with us and immediately took to his big sister who he loves so much. It was nice that he had spent time with his siblings so he was used to having another dog around and is just a great pup for our family! Can't imagine not having adopted him the day we met him.
