Canine Companions, Ltd. was founded in February 2001 with a mission to enhance the lives of individuals and families in need through the support of highly trained service and companion animals. Our primary goal is to serve the elderly by providing protection and companionship, assist individuals with paraplegia by supporting daily mobility and independence, and support low-income families with pets by providing access to food and essential veterinary care. Canine Companions, Ltd. currently provides services throughout the state of Arizona. We specialize in rescuing stranded and stray dogs and placing them with individuals who have mobility and other physical impairments, thereby improving both quality of life and personal independence. Our programs include several types of assistance animals, including service dogs, in-home companion dogs, and residential (community) companion dogs. Each animal is carefully trained and matched to meet the unique needs of the individuals and communities we serve. Like many nonprofit organizations, ongoing funding is essential to sustain and expand our mission. Our fundraising efforts focus on acquiring and training assistance dogs for recipients and developing a dedicated facility for breeding, training, and housing these exceptional companions. Canine Companions, Ltd. is a nonprofit organization committed to caring for man’s best friend while serving elderly and vulnerable communities with compassion, dignity, and purpose.

Deliver the highest level of animal care to prepare today’s animals in need for their future homes Bring together the cats and dogs who need a loving family with the people who want them Provide community services and resources to ensure every animal has a safe and healthy life For more than 50 years, Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter has been providing exceptional care for homeless animals, working tirelessly to find a permanent, loving home for every cat and dog we serve.

Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter never euthanizes any animal for time or space reasons. Adoptable animals reside with us until they find their forever home. We become their loving family until they become a part of yours. Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that is solely funded by contributions, grants and bequests.

Our Mission: To help those who have served our country honorably live with dignity and independence. The service dog programs of America’s VetDogs® were created to provide enhanced mobility and renewed independence to veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders with disabilities, allowing them to once again live with pride and self-reliance. Not only does a service dog provide support with daily activities, it provides the motivation to tackle new challenges. VetDogs trains and places guide dogs for individuals who are blind or have low vision; PTSD service dogs to help mitigate the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder; hearing dogs for those who have lost their hearing later in life; service dogs for those with other physical disabilities, and facility dogs as part of the rehabilitation process in military and VA hospitals. It costs over $50,000 to breed, raise, train, and place one assistance dog; however, all of VetDogs’ services are provided at no charge to the individual. Funding comes from the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations, businesses, and service and fraternal clubs. Once they make the decision to get a service dog, applicants become part of VetDogs’ open and welcoming community. They are supported with an uncompromised commitment to excellence, from highly empathetic and certified trainers to a meticulously constructed curriculum. VetDogs teams each student with the dog that’s right for them – and the power of their bond makes ordinary moments extraordinary. Crossing the street independently becomes a moment of liberation. Traveling alone becomes a welcome adventure. Embracing new experiences becomes an everyday occurrence. America’s VetDogs launched in 2003 as a project of the Guide Dog Foundation. In 2006, it became a separate 501(c)(3) corporation; the two organizations continue to share staff and other resources to ensure people with disabilities receive the best services possible. With an assistance dog from America's VetDogs by their side, a hero is never alone. With their courage and determination, these remarkable teams reconnect us all to the highest form of freedom there is: the freedom to experience the world around us in any way we choose, and to live without boundaries.
