text: My first visit to the Arizona Human Society was just a few weeks ago when I volunteered with Yelp to help do some gardening on the premises First of all I had no idea there were gardens but I was excited nonetheless to check the place outnnThe facility is very organized clean and had a warm feeling throughout as you entered All workers and volunteers were all smiles You knew the instant you walked in that people are there united for one because helping animals of all shapes and sizes nnThe cats have a couple of family rooms where they can stretch their paws out and chill as if they were already in an actual home The dogs have several acres to roam and investigate each day as volunteers dedicate their time to playing with them as well as walk them There is even an agility course outside for the dogs to do Apparently the pitbull mixes I was told are actually quite good at doing the agility course nnThe grounds include a mausoleum for pets Donators can have plants bricks and animal quarters all dedicated in honor of passed loved ones close by to the mausoleum FYI it was called something else other than a mausoleum but it is basically similar but for petsnnTheres a clinic onsite for more afforable pet medical care There is a store as well that sells pet food pet supplies and souvenirs that all benefit taking care of the animals at the facilitynnBetween the two properties of the Arizona Humane Society there are about animals that come in each day It is heart breaking to know that there are that many orphans that need care and are homeless Unlike people they cannot completely tell their stories Each animal just desperately wants attention and to be loved By volunteering just hours a month you can make a huge difference even if you are unable to adopt one of your own I look forward to coming back and helping out again
