Community Programs If we are to have a significant impact on animal overpopulation and all the associated symptoms such as abuse, neglect, homelessness, and euthanasia, we must reach out to the community and both strengthen and enable the human and animal companion bond. We offer 2 programs designed to assist the community and their pets.
PAC: Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Program
PAC is a joint effort between Friends for Life and local veterinarians, businesses, and individuals to provide low-cost spays and neuters to low-income families (under $45,000 per year) and stray population caregivers. PAC operates through local veterinary clinics. Call (480) 497-8296 to apply for this program.
PAC is organized and managed by Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary
Download this Form to apply for the program and bring them both into the shelter during regular business hours (see contact page).
Project HART: Humane Animal Rescue and Treatment
Friends for life operates, Project HART, Humane Animal Rescue and Treatment. HART volunteers maintain feeding stations providing food and water to animals that would otherwise starve. When funding permits, we humanely trap at the feeding stations and the animals are tested for disease and spayed or neutered. The wild animals are returned to their home at the feeding station and the tame animals are provided with a foster home where they will await adoption.
We need your HELP to continue our rescue efforts. You can help by becoming a HART supporter and donating $10 per month to Project HART. If you choose to be a Project HART supporter, you will know that with each passing day, yet another animal was rescued.
