(Sound on 🔊) Some of us are taking Monday easy this week.... Miss Harley D is one of the most relaxed dogs at Humane Society Of Southern AZ ! But it's time for her afternoon walk. How should we gently wake her up? Should we ...

A) Give her one of her favorite head pats and complimentary face squishes
B) Invite her to lean her big head against our hands and wake her up slowly
C) Leave this sleeping woman alone!! She's obviously very busy resting 😤

Harley D is available for adoption! Do you know anyone who would love this beautiful snoring baby?

Nobody has a zest for life like Tanner. Even in the shelter, 1.5-year-old Tanner fills every moment with his goofy smile, infectious energy, and affection towards his favorite people and pups. 
 
The list of things Tanner loves is long: car rides, kids, cuddles, wrestling with other dogs, the hose, hiking, balls, stuffies, swimming, playgroup...  
 
The latest addition to that list? The agility course! Tanner has mastered the tunnel, the A-frame, and the stairs, but hurdles are probably his most impressive event. 
 
And more than anything, Tanner would love to find his home. He’d fit in well with an active family or another high-energy pup.  
 
But no matter who takes this one-of-a-kind dog home, Tanner will cherish every second 💜

That's one way to play Duck, Duck, Goose!

Goose is a 5-year-old Queensland Heeler mix with goofy charm, a huge smile, and an even bigger heart! He loves to play with stuffies and other dogs, especially older girls (he's a total ladies man)!

And he's smart--he's mastered sit, paw, lay down, and stay! On top of that, Goose is already crate trained and house trained, which is a huge perk in a new home.

Come meet this very special guy today! (Or at least tell us which frame is your favorite) 💜

So excited for this event! We'll be on site with adoptable dogs 💜

Thank you to everybody who joined us for the Volunteer Open House on Saturday!

During the event, our seasoned volunteers showed off the ways they make an impact at HSSA to visitors interested in volunteering: bagging food for our pet pantry, stuffing kongs for enrichment, using TNR traps, and even running a playgroup!

We can’t wait to see these new faces again, making a difference around campus 💜
