Since 1995 Sun Valley Animal Shelter has provided loving, compassionate care to unwanted dogs and cats of the northwest valley. We strive to give comfortable, temporary housing, medical care and vaccinations, good food and companionship to the scores of homeless companion animals that need our help finding loving, permanent families.
West Valley View was kind enough to create a slide show about our shelter. Please click on the picture, she is one of many of the cats and dogs who finds a forever home with the help of your donations. Our shelter does not receive any funds from government or local agencies. As a 501(c)3 organization, we depend on tax deductable donations from caring members within the community. We also need volunteers to help us accomplish our goals, from walking dogs, cat scratching duties to helping in the front office. Won't you help today?

Opie
Opie is off of his medicine and is almost ready to have his cast taken off. We have currently received $275 for Opie. Our goal for him $1,200. Opie is so happy about everything, sometimes he seems like he doesn’t even know his leg is broken!
We can use all the donations possible to help support these dogs and their medical bills. Donations help make everything possible for our non-profit shelter. We would like to reach our goals, so if you would like to donate for either of these dogs, please send checks to the attention of Opie or Wyatt at:

The Cruel side of foreclosure
by Emily McCann - Staff Writer
West Valley View - August 5, 2008
Dogs are supposed to be man's best friend, but what happens when a man falls on hard financial times?
Dawn Davis,
who lives on unincorporated county land near Northern Avenue and Reems
Road, said she frequently sees the aftermath of abandoned pets. Her
most recent encounter was a mother dog and its two puppies. Somebody
had left them, along with a bowl of dry dog food, which was quickly
covered in ants.
"These are not the first dogs we've found out here," Davis said. "This is like a dumping ground out here."
Arizona
had the nation's third highest foreclosure rate in the second quarter
this year, according to RealtyTrac, an online foreclosure marketplace.
