" Libby" is a 4 pound ball of energy who thinks she can be Peter Pan. When she came to us she used three legs most of the time but when she needed to move a bit faster she sped around on her two front legs. She has luxating patella(loose knees) common in the toy breeds. Her knee has been surgically repaired,she has been spayed, had a dental, is fully vaccinated and has a micrchip. Libby is now ready for a forever home where she will be provided a safe environment. She is a wee girl so we ask for an adult only home with no pets over 6#. She is house trained with a pet door and while recuperating from her surgery used a piddle pad. Libby is very personable, loves to play but will rest quietly as well. Her favorite spot is the back of the sofa on a large pillow purchased especially for her. If interested in our Libby please visit http://www.tikiblackdog.org and complete and submit the application. There will be no response to emails without the application. She is only two years old so this is a long commitment. A home visit is required. There is an adoption fee |

WHO WE ARE
The Coalition of All Breed Rescueof Arizona (CABRA) is a statewide not-for-profit group of people dedicated to rescuing and finding good homes for purebred dogs. It is CABRA's hope that more unwanted purebreds will find loving, lifetime homes through the efforts and activities of its members. Members assist animals of recognized breeds by removing them from shelters whenever possible, and from homes where they are no longer loved or wanted. They then work to place them in permanent adoptive homes. Many are fostered by CABRA members, while other are placed through direct referral. CABRA requires that all rescue animals be neutered or spayed, health checked, and current on all shots prior to adoption.
CABRA screens its members carefully to assure quality for both the animal and the adopter. Members have agreed to abide by an established Code of Ethics. Questions regarding our Code of Ethics should be directed to CABRA's board of directors.
SERVICES PROVIDED BY CABRA
CABRA provides service to the community refering the public to member rescues. You can view our Member Rescues below to find a rescue person or organization for the breed you are interested in. If the breed you want isn't listed, call our hotline at 480-874-2511, as new rescues are forming every day.
CABRA is an Arizona not-for-profit corporation and is tax-exempt according to IRS tax code 501(c)3. Your gifts of cash and supplies (crates, grooming equipment, food, etc) are tax deductible. If you want your donation to be used to help a specific breed, please indicate this on your gift. Donations may be sent to CABRA at P.O. Box 7264 Phoenix, AZ 85011-7264. Thank you for your help.

How Do Microchips Work?
A microchip is a tiny transmitter that is inserted under your pet's skin." Insertion is done with a needle, similar to a vaccination, and does not involve anesthesia or significant pain for your pet." If your pet is lost and found, a shelter or vet will scan your pet." The microchip will return its registration number, so the shelter or vet can call the chip manufacturer and retrieve your information." Your pet is never without ID, even if he is lost without a collar." And, in the event that your pet is stolen or someone claims your pet as their own, you can prove that you are the pet's rightful owner." However we still reccommend that you keep an ID tag on your pet.
Why Vaccinate?" What Vaccinations Are Required?
Vaccinations provide protection for your pet from many potentially fatal diseases." Generally both cats and dogs need a rabies vaccination, and a comination vaccine (either 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 depending on the species)." Check with your veterinarian regarding a specific vaccination schedule for your pet, but we have included here the most common reccommendations for your reference.
In Maricopa County, rabies vaccinations are required for dogs and cats. The first vaccination should be given at three months of age. The first recorded vaccination (regardless of the pet's age) is good for one year, subsequent vaccinations last for three years." Dogs must be relicensed with the county annually, regardless of whether a vaccination is needed." Cats do not need to be licensed.
4-in-1 vaccinations protect dogs against distemper, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and hepatitis." Puppies should be vaccinated at 2, 3, and 4 months of age, and then annually." Kittens should be vaccinated with 3-in-1 vaccine at 2, 3, and 4 months of age." Adult cats should also receive a 3-in-1 vaccination annually." This protects against feline panleukopenia (also called feline distemper), rhinotracheitis, and calcivirus.
ADOPTNG A FRIEND
Contact information is listed for each rescue, and is listed by breed. Some rescues serve the entire state, and some only a local area. Unless otherwise noted, the rescues are in the Phoenix area. If you are outside the listed area please call the rescue to determine if they work in your area. If the breed you are interested in is not listed, please call the hotline at 480-874-2511.
Each individual rescue sets its own policies and procedures, but typically adopting a dog will require an application process. Dogs will be spayed or neutered prior to placement, and an adoption fee is normally required. If you are looking to place a dog, each rescue has its own intake policy, and please be aware that there are many dogs that need homes and rescues have limited resources, so there may or may not be space for your dog in rescue.
