What Does HALO Stand for?
HALO is an acronym that stands for Helping Animals Live On. It
is a succinct, four-word definition of what we are here for.
It is the reason each and every employee and volunteer puts two
feet on the ground. It is a passion that goes beyond just
loving dogs and cats. It is a driving force in our lives; to
make this community, this world, a safe place for homeless
pets.
HALO Animal Rescue
Located in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, HALO Animal Rescue is a
safety net for thousands of homeless dogs and cats each year.
We are a no-kill facility, which means we never euthanize an animal
because we have run out of room, but it also means we are limited
in the animals we can take in at any given time. Our
specialty is to provide a refuge to those pets who might otherwise
be destroyed at other Valley shelters for reasons such as a
treatable injury, illness, or those who are too scared or too
young to go up for adoption at their time of arrival. These
animals are lovingly cared for while they are prepared for
adoption, and then they are adopted into loving homes.
Animal Advocates
Our commitment goes beyond just caring for the animals within
our shelter, we are working to create a better welfare system for
all the animals in this community. With just under 100,000
dogs and cats entering Maricopa County Animal Care and
Control and the Arizona Humane Society's shelters each year and
approximately only half of these pets leaving the shelters alive,
we've got our work cut out for us; but we feel it is critical to
continue to nurture relationships with other welfare agencies to
create life-saving strategies so we can all fully utilize our
available resources to save as many lives as possible.
We are committed to seeing an end to the killing of savable
pets. In order to reach this goal, we must all work
together, building from our strengths to provide the care
you as the public want and expect us to give. In return, we
ask for your support by providing a helping hand, temporary shelter
or the financial means to provide the care they need. Their
lives are dependent upon every person in this community taking part
and joining the fight to save them.
