Events, Volunteers, and Volunteer Groups (Volunteer Department)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Whether you are an individual volunteer, a group volunteer, or met us at an event, we greatly appreciate all of your support.

Your donation to Lost Our Home allows us to make a life-changing difference for pets in our community and keep families together.

Our Programs that your donations support: 

  • Rescue & Adoption Program for owner-surrendered, abandoned pets, and homeless pets 
  • Pet Food Bank Program for those struggling to feed their pets. 
  • Temporary Care Program for pets in need of up to 120 days of shelter, medical care, food, and enrichment due to pet parents experiencing a crisis such as domestic violence, homelessness, foreclosure, eviction, medical needs (physical or mental health requiring stays in hospital or rehabilitation facilities), house fires, and other life challenges. This program has seen a significant increase in applications due to Covid hospital patients needing someone to care for their pets, unemployment, evictions, and increased domestic violence numbers over the last year and a half. 
  • Temporary Care - Domestic Violence Program - Statistics show that 40% of women will not leave an abusive situation for fear of what would happen to their pet if left behind & 85% of women (in AZ) and children entering a shelter report that their abuser had threatened, injured, maimed, or killed the family pet for revenge or psychological control. Yet only 3% of domestic violence shelters nationwide can accept pets. That is why Lost Our Home Pet Rescue specializes in helping domestic violence victims with their pets and why we have partnered with domestic violence shelters around the Valley.
  • Our Tempe First Responders Program provides 24/7 access to the shelter for first responders on duty when they have a situation involving a pet that needs a safe place to go.  
Since 2008 Lost Our Home has:
  • Helped over 37,000 pets and over 22,000 people in a time of crisis
  • Adopted more than 11,000 pets into loving fur-ever homes
  • Provided over 135,000 nights of safe shelter to pets whose owners were experiencing a crisis
  • Provided over 1.1 million nutritional meals to hungry pets through our Pet-Food Bank Program.
  • AND Lost Our Home Pet Rescue specializes in helping domestic violence victims with their pets and has valued partnerships with several domestic violence shelters to serve victims and their pets.
This year, Lost Our Home Pet Rescue has been: 
  • Awarded Tempe Chamber of Commerce's Nonprofit of the Year, 
  • Won Phoenix Magazine's Best Pet Rescue of the Valley
  • 1 of only 50 rescues nationwide to be awarded a surprise grant from Miranda Lambert's non-profit organization, MuttNation
  • 1 of 100 chosen animal welfare groups nationwide to receive a grant from Grey Muzzle to help local senior dogs and the people who love them
