FEATURED CHARITY OF THE MONTH
ARIZONA HUMANE SOCIETY
A
fraid, hurt and, as it would turn out, unable to see, four-year-old Carter was wandering in the middle of the road while the Phoenix Police Department guided traffic in an effort to keep cars away from him. Immediately, a member of the Arizona Humane Society’s Emergency Animal Medical Technician™ team, the first of its kind, responded to the call. Upon their arrival, it was found that Carter had a severe eye issue the responding pet paramedic had “never seen anything like before,” with pink tissue covering the cornea and what was thought to be a progressive form of glaucoma, as well as multiple injuries and ticks covering his body. Once examined at AHS’ Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital™, Carter was rushed into surgery where both of Carter’s eyes, which were found to be beyond repair, were removed. Although newly blind, there was no stopping the courageous spirit and tenacity of this sweet boy
who can now be the happy, loving dog he was always meant to be with his forever family in Phoenix. Carter is just one of more than 13,000 animals saved by AHS in 2017 through adoption, rescue and the reunion of lost pets with their owner.
Built on a foundation of compassion, the Arizona Humane Society rescues, heals, adopts and advocates for sick, injured and abused animals just like Carter. AHS’ commitment to end animal suffering, homelessness and needless euthanasia has blazed a trail in the animal welfare community. This commitment led to 60,000 additional lives being saved in four short years thanks to lifesaving medical programs, spay/neuter outreach and AHS’ Pet Resource Center devoted to keeping pets in homes. To learn more about the lifesaving work of the Arizona Humane Society and to see how you can help save the lives of pets in the Valley, visit azhumane.org.
