Animal Safety Education

As an organization who rescues both cats and dogs, it is important for us to teach young children and adults the importance of compassion for animals and improve animal safety education. Indeed, all animals deserve our kindness and compassion. Cats and dogs are companion animals and as such they rely on us for their well being. We need to remind each other that we are the voice for these animals, and that our words have power. One way to achieve that is through animal safety education.

Friends for Life has a dedicated team of volunteers who do presentations to schools and groups regarding animal safety, spay and neuter, and a variety of other topics. We respectfully request that a minimum two-week notice be given for tour requests, and preferably a 30-day time frame. We will make every effort to grant every tour request, but we are all volunteers and there might be times when we do not have volunteer staff available for the day/time you request!

Did you know that obtaining an Arizona Pet Friendly license plate supports animal welfare initiatives?  Proceeds from the Pet Friendly license plate help fund spay and neuter services for animals across the state. The plates can also be personalized! In addition, you can also make a voluntary contribution through your personal income tax return to support animal welfare efforts.  By purchasing a Pet Friendly license plate, you contribute to the spaying and neutering of animals, helping to reduce pet homelessness in Arizona. You can order the plate online here.

If you are interested in a group presentation and/or a tour of our adoption center, please email education@azfriends.org for more information. Together we can make a difference to our furry friends!
