Covid-19 Update

Lost Our Home Pet Rescue is open to the public by appointment only.

In light of the current Coronavirus Epidemic, we want to do our best to adhere to CDC social distancing guidelines keeping our staff, volunteers, and community safe.

Visitors with proof of vaccine are not required to wear a face mask for the duration of their appointment. Visitors will receive a ‘Vaccinated Volunteer’ or ‘Vaccinated Visitor’ badge to wear while at the shelter.

We are still doing adoptions and requiring meet & greets, however they will be done by appointment only so we can safely limit the number of people at the shelter at any one time.

When people are facing times of crisis that jeopardize their ability to care and provide for their pets, we are here to help.

Domestic Violence
Domestic violence affects both people and their pets and prompts many victims to remain in abusive situations for fear of having nowhere to escape to with their pet. Lost Our Home is committed to changing that uncertainty into assurance through our life-saving partnership with the largest domestic violence shelter in Arizona.
Homelessness
Homeless individuals often rely on their pets for comfort and companionship. To remain together, many choose to forgo shelters or job training opportunities for fear of being separated from their companions. Lost Our Home makes it possible for people to receive job training without leaving their pet behind.
Medical Emergencies
Having no one to care for a precious pet when unexpected medical emergencies, surgeries or illness force people and their pets apart, can leave many uncertain of how to not only care for themselves, but for their pet as well. Lost Our Home supports families suffering from these medical emergencies.
Financial Hardship
Financial Hardships wreak havoc on people’s lives and the wellbeing of their pets. Eviction, foreclosure, fires, floods…all these force people and pets into unknown territory. We can help in this period of uncertainty by caring for pets and assuring they are in good hands—easing some of the pressure on pet owners.

Since 2008, Lost Our Home has helped over 23,000 pets!

More than 6,500 pets have been placed in new loving homes.

More than 17,500 hungry pets have been fed through our Pet Food Bank.

More than 800 pets have been reunited with their families after a crisis.

Now people don’t have to choose between helping their pets and getting the help they need.

Help us find pets their forever homes!

Pets are family members. That’s what drives our vision. Lost Our Home is dedicated to bridging the care gap between people who find themselves in crisis and the pets who often have no place to go during these challenging circumstances.

We are focused on finding long-term solutions and making long-lasting impact. Our mission is community-focused; our approach, unique. We envision a caring community without barriers or divides between human crisis response and pet crisis response because we recognize that what impacts people directly impacts their pets.

Lost Our Home Pet Rescue is the only non-profit, no-kill pet rescue based in Tempe whose mission is dedicated to providing compassionate services to pets and pet parents in crisis. Whether it be foreclosure, homelessness, job loss, illness, domestic violence or any other hardship, we are there to serve pets and pet parents in the Valley who don’t know where to turn. Often, we are their very last hope. For many pet owners with few resources, the only other option is surrendering their pet(s) to overcrowded shelters where they face an uncertain future, and even death. Lost our Home is committed to helping pets and people and ensuring that our pets face a different future—a certain future that’s fulfilling, happy, healthy, and with a loving family.

Stories of Hope

For over ten years Lost Our Home has been changing the fate of pets who otherwise would have no future. Read our stories and see how in even the most dire of circumstances, there’s always hope.

Stories of Hope
“When we run into situations with pets that need extra TLC, we know the team at Lost Our Home will make sure they get it. We also know they’ll make sure the pets are kept safe while waiting for their owner to return, or that they will be adopted into loving new homes when needed. It’s a win-win for pets and people.”

Michael Pooley
Commander, Field Operations at City of Tempe Police Department
