  • Pet Allies operates a no kill animal shelter, which is located at 1321 N. 16th Street, Show Low, AZ. The shelter phone number is 928-537-8009. We are open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. We are closed on Sundays.
    The shelter provides sheltering for the City of Show Low Animal Control. At times,
    the shelter may be able to accept pets that people wish to surrender but it is
    contingent upon space available. If Pet Allies is able to accept an owner
    surrendered pet, please be aware that fees for surrender will apply and there is no
    guarantee that we can accept your pet. Call our shelter at 928-537-8009 for more
    information.
    Rehoming your animals can be trying when shelters and rescues are full. You can
    try rehoming yourself through the national website Adopt a Pet by going here. Our
    ‘How to find your pet a home on your own’ website page offers some additional
    resources.

Pet Allies’ Pet Food Pantry offers temporary/emergency pet food assistance; this service is NOT intended to supply food permanently or on a regular basis.  This is a temporary measure while an  individual gets through a financially tough time.

Applicant’s animals must be spayed or neutered (please provide proof of spay or neuter) or applicant must agree to schedule the surgery with Pet Allies prior to receiving their next pet food pantry allocation.  Pet Allies will prioritize these individuals for spay/neuter.

Individual/Family Pets
This program is for individual pet owners and limited to three pets per household. We are unable to provide assistance to independent rescuers. If you have rescued more animals than you are able to feed, we can provide you with information and recommend that you work with a 501(c)(3) rescue.

No Breeders
We do not provide pet food assistance to breeders (of any kind). If you have a litter that you are planning on selling, you are strictly prohibited from pet food assistance. We will help individuals with an accidental litter and prioritize them for intake into the shelter when they are at least 8 weeks old. Individuals who receive this assistance must agree to spay the mother and will receive assistance to do so. Food can be provided to litters until they are able to enter the shelter. Individuals receiving assistance from the Pet Food Pantry cannot benefit financially from the litters.
