Adoptions
Adoption counselors ensure that our animals find
appropriate homes. Counselors interview prospective owners
and work to find homes that match the needs of the pets with
the owners. Additionally, other volunteers are needed to transport
animals and aid in adoption center set up and clean up. Adoptions
are held at Choice Pet Market, located
at 7119 E Shea Blvd. (Southwest corner of
Shea Blvd. and Scottsdale Rd.) in
Scottsdale.
Adoption hours are Saturday from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Call (480) 202.4800
for more information or visit www.choicepetmarket.com.
Foster Homes
All pets in our program are kept in homes. Not only
does this allow us to get to know them in a more natural, loving
environment, it is more comfortable for the animals. Foster homes
drop off and pick up the pets at the adoption center.
Spay/Neuter/Release
Scottsdale Strays rescues and humanely traps homeless cats
that overpopulate the greater Phoenix area. They are taken to
participating veterinarians and tested for FeLV and FIV. The
cats are then spay/neutered and released at one of our feeding
stations. Strayed and injured dogs are rescued from euthanasia,
taken to participating veterinarians for health exams, spay/neutered,
vaccinated and then placed in foster homes for recovery and
adoption.
Housekeeping
Housekeeping seems to be a fact of life. Scottsdale Strays is
no exception. Volunteers are needed to help with laundry, dishes
and litter pans on an ongoing basis.
Fundraising
To maintain these efforts, we are continually seeking
fundraising ideas. Scottsdale Strays can only continue to exist
through the kindness of others. Volunteers aid with fundraising,
monitoring donation jars, helping with the annual raffle and
auction, organizing and working wine tastings and rummage
sales. We encourage and welcome new fundraising ideas.

WANTED!
Scottsdale Strays is seeking horse property, gardeners sheds,
or other appropriate locations to establish a new feeding station
for a colony of feral cats. These cats are not socialized for
adoptions and make excellent pest/rodent control. All cats are
sterilized and FeLV/FIV negative. As a stabilized colony, these
cats keep others from joining the group. Please email Cindy
Langdell or call (480) 202.4800 for
more information. |
