What we do. Who we Help:
We help beagles in need. Our primary goal is to help find new homes for homeless beagles (strays, owner surrenders, or dogs from the county shelters). But, that is not all. Whether it’s finding a lost beagle, reuniting a found beagle with his or her owners, or educating new beagle owners on beagle traits, our overall goal is to help every beagle in any way possible.

How we use your Monetary Donations: 100% of donations go directly to the care of beagles (mostly medical needs). Vet expenses comprise over 90% of our annual budget. Donations are used to offset the cost of vaccinations, exam fees, surgeries, blood work, x-rays, and medically necessary boarding for our beagles.

An Example of a Volunteer who would be a Great Fit and/or Characterisitics of an Ideal Volunteer for us: Without our dedicated volunteers across Arizona, AZBR could not continue to rescue and re-home needy beagles. AZBR does not have a shelter facility, so we do not have a facility where volunteers can just come to ‘play’ with the dogs. Rather the beagles we rescue are cared for in the homes of our volunteers until the right home is found for each dog. AZBR has volunteers located throughout Arizona and we’re always in need of more people to help us continue to save lives. Don’t be shy! If you don’t know how, we will train you. The sky’s the limit in terms of volunteer opportunities; we are also open to everyone’s individual talents and welcome your ideas as to how you can best help us as well!

The number of hours as well as exact job duties would be flexible.
