Start creating your Legacy
Arizona Small Dog Rescue has been one of the longest no-kill animal welfare organization in the Valley of the Sun since 2009. As a no-kill shelter, every year we find loving homes for over 1500 dogs every year with the help of generous donors such as yourself. Arizona Small Dog Rescue receives neither federal funding nor support from taxpayers to enable it to keep the doors and kennels open. It is because of your continued support, and the support of people such as yourself, that Arizona Small Dog Rescue is able to maintain its facilities and its staff who care for the animals, as well as provide food, shelter, medical treatment and love to these animals while they await their forever homes. But what will happen when you are gone?

Naming Arizona Small Dog Rescue as the beneficiary of your life insurance or retirement plan is a simple and smart way to provide for Arizona Small Dog Rescue for years to come. When a retirement account is left to a charity such as Arizona Small Dog Rescue, the organization does not pay the income tax otherwise due if left to a non-spouse family member or a friend.
