There's a lot to learn when you have a new pet. Our sister brand, The Wildest, is here to support you—with new pet checklists, virtual training, and expert guides. Sign up for free.
We not only take dogs from across the street but also from streets across the border. We help dogs of all breeds, nationalities, color and age. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless dogs and ensuring that they are placed in loving, caring homes. Dogs are rescued both from the euthanasia list at animal shelters and from people who are no longer able to care for their animals.
Most of our dogs come from different shelters throughout Arizona including White Mountain Humane Society, Pet Allies in Northern Arizona, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control and owner surrenders or turn-ins.
Caring for Canines's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Caring for Canines does have an adoption fee for pets to help us rescue more in the future. Since all of our dogs are spayed/neutered, have their shots, are micro-chipped, vet checked and been through behavior training, our adoption fee will enable us to reimburse some of these costs. Dogs vary according to age, health condition and other variables but will range from $50 to $500.
We have a standard contract that will need to be filled out at the time of adoption and which requires the adopter to commit to proper care of the pet.
We will also spend some time before adoption either when you are visiting the dog or on the phone ahead of time, talking to you about the dog as well as how it might fit into your household. We just want to be sure the dog and you are happy!

About Caring for Canines
Mission Statement : To rescue dogs that are unwanted, helpless, overlooked or turned away because of their breed, color, nationality or age
We rescue the dogs that no one else wants.
Whether left to die in the local shelter or starving and homeless on the streets, we take them in, provide them with medical care, spay and neuter services, micro-chips, vaccinations and behavioral training. After careful screening of the potential new family, we attempt to adopt the dogs to the best home possible.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
