The mission of A Dog's Tale is to help residents of Maricopa County through outreach and educational programs. Our mission is to increase awareness of animal cruelty, teach healthy pet ownership and to address the staggering pet overpopulation problem in the United States. Our primary focus if spay, neuter, vaccination and micro-chip programs. We also provide supplemental services and funding to those families who meet our requirements for temporary housing, medical, food and other costs associated with keeping animals out of our county shelters and in their rightful homes. When necessary, A Dog's Tale Animal Foundation will also provide temporary foster homes and permanent placement for neglected, abandoned or abused animals.
