We are excited it announce that we are partnering again this year with GrandPaws Pantry and Helping Hands for Homeless Hounds for our holiday drive! Both of these wonderful organizations focus on collecting and distributing supplies for pets in need within our local community. Here at AZPetVet, we will be working to help collect donations for these organizations during this holiday season.
GrandPaws Pantry focuses on different needs at rescue organizations or other animal-focused organizations within the Phoenix area. They also help the senior community by supplying care packages to seniors and their pets each holiday season. GrandPaws was started by a young woman named Sonya who has a strong love and passion for helping rescue pets in the community. Sonya and her family have a long-standing relationship with Arrowhead Ranch Animal Hospital, after they saved their newly adopted dog Bhaskar many years ago from parvo. Since then, she has been helping pets by supporting rescue organizations including: Soldier’s Best Friend, Halo Animal Shelter, Sun City 4 Paws Rescue, and Sun Valley Animal Shelter.
Some of the most-needed items from their wish list this year include:

Helping Hands for Homeless Hounds is a community-based organization that makes a difference in the lives of pets and their pet parents. Cheryl, the founder, is actively involved in going to homeless shelters and camps all through the Phoenix area.

They also coordinate rescue efforts to re-home pets for owners that can no longer care for their pet.
