Will you help us to gather the most useful information about the organizations & resources available to help Small Animals? Your community needs your help!
Please forward this project post to friends, family & colleagues who may be interested in contributing information to this project and helping their community!
We would like to help potential adopters to find these rescue groups. We would also like to help the rescues to get the word out about what they do and what they need in order to do it better. We want to inform our community about what they can do to help the Small Animal Rescues to find the volunteers, donated items and monetary donations they need to fulfill their group’s mission of helping more Small Animals.
You can help your community and Animal Rescue groups right from your home computer! Please help us to find all of the Small Animal Rescue Groups that are still active in Arizona.To add the names of rescue groups and to contribute helpful information to this project, please send us the information via the comments section at the bottom of this post.

- Reason this Action is Needed:
It is often difficult and time-consuming to find accurate and up to date information on the resources that are available to help rescue an animal, especially a Small Animal. People are busy and stressed with all they need to do to just get through the day.
If CommunityCause.org can provide current & accurate information about rescue groups that is quick, clear and effortless to access this will make it easier for people in our community to find rescue groups when they want to help adopt an animal, volunteer, donate items, sponsor events, or give money. It is important to give people access to well vetted,accurate and readily available information.
In addition, anyone helping friends or family members with Small Animal issues will have available all the tips, resources and organizations that other people have recommended as being very helpful. This will make anyone using the CommunityCause.org website an instant pseudo-expert on the topic because they will have immediate access to the crowdsourced experience and expertise of others who have dealt with and successfully resolved similar Small Animal related issues. This makes it easier for professionals and members of the public to assist someone struggling with this issue.
- Finished Product:
The Finished Product for project will be a completed Master List of all of the Small Animal Rescue Groups in Arizona who are currently helping to Save and/or Rehome Animals. It will be available in print form and also available on the internet. The Master List will provide current & accurate information about rescue groups that is quick, clear and effortless to access. This will make it easier for people in our community to find the rescue groups when they want to help adopt a small animal, volunteer, donate items, sponsor events, or give money.
Helpful Tips, Resources & Advice gathered during this project will be added to the relevant website pages and Wiki pages of this website.There will be checklists of tips and advice that others have found to be helpful when dealing with issues concerning Small Animals. Recommended organizations will be added to the Directory of Organizations on this website along with the services they provide. This will make it easier for people to find the exact organization that offers the specific services that are needed. We are striving to make CommunityCause.org an easily Searchable Website so that all individuals and organizations may derive benefit from this useful information source by just typing in a few keywords into “Search this Website” option.
