About Us
At Sun Valley Animal Shelter, our mission is to provide humane housing, care, and companionship for homeless dogs and cats in a comfortable setting that meets their physical and emotional needs. Founded in 1991 by a group of Sun City area residents, we began as a foster-based program to offer adoption opportunities for abandoned and homeless animals. Our organization has grown significantly over the years, and in 1995, we built our current facility, which can house over 70 dogs and 70 cats.
We are proud to operate as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, relying on income from our thrift store profits, adoption fees, membership dues, donations, and bequests. Our commitment to providing quality care is evident in the services we offer. The animals in our care are housed in a clean, secure environment and are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given all necessary shots and a physical exam. Dedicated volunteers play a crucial role in assisting with the daily care and nurturing of our dogs and cats before they find their forever homes.
In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in adoptions, from approximately 150 animals per year to over 700 animals per year. This success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as the support from our community. We believe in giving animals a second chance at a happy life, and we are grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of these creatures.
At Sun Valley Animal Shelter, we are not just a place for animals to stay; we are a community that cares deeply about the welfare of all animals. We strive to provide a safe and loving environment where pets can thrive until they find their forever homes. If you have a passion for helping animals in need, we invite you to join us in making a difference. Your contribution can make a huge impact on the lives of these animals, and together, we can make a positive change for these creatures.
Thank you for considering Sun Valley Animal Shelter as your partner in animal care. We look forward to continuing our mission of providing humane housing, care, and companionship for homeless dogs and cats.
