AHS is not government funded so we rely on donations from our community, which greatly help us with our lifesaving work. However, we understand that not all groups have funds to contribute and simply want to contribute their time, which is equally welcome!

Thrifting to Save Lives: Our thrift stores bring in over $1 million to help with AHS’ lifesaving programs! Support our animals by sorting donations and organizing items during a fun team building event that makes a huge impact on animals in our care.

• Both of our thrift store locations would love your help! 

Get Started

Our Wags N’ Purrs virtual volunteer activities enable you to “get together” remotely with your coworkers, friends, or family and complete activities that benefit the pets in our shelter. This group experience is approximately one hour long and includes:

• 2-3 activities of your choice from our Wags N’ Purrs Virtual Volunteer Activity List (must gather or purchase supplies beforehand)
• A virtual meet-and-greet with some of AHS’ furry residents
• A virtual tour of our shelter
• Inspiring videos of rescued pets

Once your group has selected 2-3 activities and all members have the necessary supplies, one team captain will schedule the virtual event. Once the activity is complete, the team captain will arrange to have items dropped off at AHS’ Sunnyslope Campus for Nina Mason Pulliam South Mountain Campus.
