The people of the Arizona Humane Society empathize with the circumstances of all stakeholders and try to respect each situation with Dignity for People and Pets. The experience becomes uniquely AHS when the organization is aligned to deliver a dignified experience regardless of circumstances. Confident Transparency AHS is the leading animal welfare organization in the state of Arizona and is confident in its operations and its immense contribution to the community. Guided by its Compassionate Spirit and a commitment to Dignity for People and Pets, the organization is empowered to stand up for its beliefs and communicate the gravity of an extreme pet overpopulation crisis. The Arizona Humane Society can, unapologetically, discuss its tireless dedication to doing what’s best for the animals in the context of the harsh realities that cannot be solved without the community’s commitment to alleviating the pet overpopulation crisis. Joy of Pets Joy of Pets is deeply rooted in the organization’s heritage. This dimension suggests AHS is proud of its pets and enjoys the responsibility of compassionately stewarding the lives of animals. For many decades, the television show Pets on Parade, the Pet Telethon, and other less visible programs have highlighted the joy a pet offers. Joy of Pets evokes this emotion in potential forever families and begins to foreshadow how their lives can be enriched by an Arizona Humane Society pet. Joy of Pets suggests a personality that is caring but also spirited and playful. Joy of Pets is built on a relationship of trust and a genuine Compassionate Spirit.
