Sun Valley Animal Shelter, Inc., is an Arizona nonprofit corporation with 501 (c)3 status which operates a no-kill shelter in Glendale, Arizona, generally serving the western portion of the Phoenix metropolitan area.  The organization was founded in 1991 by a group of Sun City area residents as a foster-based program to provide adoption opportunities for homeless and abandoned dogs and cats.  The current facility was built in 1995 and can house 50+ dogs and 100+ cats.  The organization receives no government funding and is supported by income from our thrift store profits, adoption fees, membership dues, donations and bequests.  We recently received a grant to assist in the construction of a new medical/surgical center at the facility.
