Maricopa K-9 Maternity Ward & Rescue

Our rescue is dedicated to saving the lives of pregnant animals who have been left in county as well as orphaned puppies and kittens under eight weeks of age. Through networking and the support of the community, we plan to eliminate the risk of unnecessary death and disease that pregnant animals, as well as their unborn litters are susceptible to in Maricopa County shelters. Exposure time in the c

ounty shelter leads to fatal and potentially fatal diseases not limited to parvo and distemper as well as stress and lack of prenatal nutrition and care. Our rescue will provide the necessary environment to nurture happy and healthy moms and their litters. We believe in practicing rescue medicine, keeping our expectant and new moms under expert veterinary supervision to compensate for their lack of prenatal care. Once puppies are old enough to be adopted, they will be vaccinated, altered, and micro chipped. Potential adopters will be carefully screened, including application verification,home visits, and follow ups. We also plan on working hand in hand with trainers who excel in obedience and service animal training to place some of our animals into the homes of veterans, first responders, and children with disabilities with the use of sponsored adoption fees. We firmly believe that with compassion, love, and steady reinforcement of acceptable boundaries, these animals will make amazing companion and/or service animals.
