DOG RESCUE

Our Pet List!

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to stop the flow of unwanted animals into shelters that euthanize pets. We accomplish this by providing our lost/found service, education, adoptions, and by collaborating on a pet lost/found line. We assist lost/found dogs in finding their way home. We also provide seminars on a variety of pet topics. If you would like us to make a presentation to your organization, please e-mail us. Thanks!

We are now offering a series of fundraising seminars to help homeless animals. Only $5. Seminars are held in the community room of the Mesa Petco store (Longmore/Southern). Directions are below, followed by our donation needs: $350 needed for the animal sanctuary by October 15th. Clare Rhoads, M.C. is offering 15 hours of family mediation services for just $20/hour to help us to meet our needs. Please e-mail us at evcorstraydogs@hotmail.com or phone to make an appointment at 480-755-7343. You can use your hour to talk through a difficult subject, negotiate family rules that everyone can live with, or decide on issues concerning seperation/divorce/custody. We also desperately need Tidy Cat Kitty Litter, and Cat Food. Please scroll down to see our volunteer needs, lost/found animal, unwanted animal and low cost sterilization/vaccination information:
