During the summer of 2009, a group of animal welfare advocates got together to start an animal rescue in Phoenix, AZ.

Realizing that Maricopa County had the second highest euthanasia rate in the nation, second only to Los Angeles County, this group of animal advocates could no longer look the other way.

In September, 2009, after filing all the necessary paperwork, Home ‘Fur’ Good was officially established as a 501(c)3 non-profit with the hope of eliminating the euthanasia of adoptable animals in Maricopa County.

The staff and volunteers at Home ‘Fur’ Good strive to give its animals a clean and comfortable place to sleep, nutritious food to eat, excellent medical care, adequate daily exercise, and an overdose of love and affection.

Everyone works hard to find each cat and dog a ‘fur’ever home that best meets the animal’s needs, as well as the prospective adopter’s needs.

In 2022, Home Fur Good took in 605 beautiful, but homeless, dogs and cats. We happily adopted out 572 and transferred 1 to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Our live “release rate” for 2022 was 96.95%. This rate does not include the 14 dogs and cats that sadly and unfortunately passed while in our case despite our greatest efforts.

We hope you’ll consider being a part of the Home ‘Fur’ Good family by becoming a donor, volunteer, or adopter.
