Rescue Groups
Snake Training
If you explore the desert with your pups we highly recommend taking them through a snake avoidance training class. We recommend Web Parton with Snakesafe.com Not only with a snake aware dog save themselves from a bite but they may save you as well.
Wildlife
We frequently act as a way-station for sick and injured wildlife at the hospital and my intent is to provide a list of contact organizations for those people who find injured wildlife. All wild animals have special needs, particularly in regards to diet. Therefore, it is vitally important that all found animals be turned over to qualified and licensed rehabilitators. The quicker injured wildlife is placed with a qualified rehab facility or individual the better the chance not only for survival, but also eventual release back into the wild. These rehab organizations all have volunteers who have been trained to care for the different needs of our Arizona wildlife and they will provide the very best possible care.
