The Humane Society of Southern Arizona is hosting a very special edition of our Paws and Pages Literacy Program. Each year, 4th of July celebrations cause many of our community’s pets to experience anxiety and fear. This will be the first ever Paws and Pages event for adults to read to shelter pets! Active duty and veteran members of all branches of our armed forces - and any adult who cares about reducing shelter pets’ stress levels during the holiday, can join us on July 4th from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. to read to shelter cats and dogs.

Join us at our Main Campus at 635 W. Roger Rd on Thursday, July 11th for a time capsule dedication ceremony, cupcakes and more as we celebrate our 75th anniversary and prepare for the next 75 years of helping to save homeless pets in Southern Arizona.

School's out. Let's party! Along with our Pets for Educators sponsored adoption event, our Educator Appreciation Week will feature the Top of the Class Teacher Social. If you're a teacher, educator, professor, or instructor in Southern Arizona, you're invited to join us on Friday, July 12th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at our Main Campus. Relax after the long school year and mingle with other TOP educators. Enjoy food and drinks, campus tours, humane curriculum materials, meet our ambassador pets and Pet VIP dogs. We'll have tote bags, books, and exclusive giveaways, too!

Join us at our 75th Anniversary Banquet Dinner on Saturday, July 13th at El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton Resort.

The banquet will include delicious food and drink, a look at the past 75 years of animal welfare progress and a very special New Beginnings Canine Program appeal.

The Humane Society of Southern Arizona provides valuable and potentially life-saving Colorado River Toad avoidance training classes in July and August. Each Colorado River Toad avoidance training class gives dogs the necessary training to help prevent an expensive and potentially deadly exposure to Colorado River Toads.
