HALO Animal Rescue HALO (Helping Animals Live On) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit no-kill animal rescue. www.halorescue.org

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.

Kitty update time! "My cat is doing beautifully. When I first got her she was so shy and didn’t want to be touched or near anyone. But now after adjusting, she’s doing wonderful. She’s very affectionate and loves being heard by constantly meowing. She loves being scratched and her treats as well as her food. She also loves sleeping on my clothes and my bed even though she has her own haha." We just love hearing from our adopters.

“Bandit is not only amazing, and loving, he’s very protective. He saved us from a potential house fire a few months ago. He started acting very anxious and pacing when we had our oven on auto-clean, the oven got too hot. We had to call the fire department. The Fire Department told us that he was warning us that a fire was about to start. It would have if he had not started acting anxious and pacing and alerting us. So we turned the oven off. He is our HERO”

Say cheese! Cheesecake that is, yup that's my name. I'm a wonderful 1yr 4mos old Husky mix. Like most young lads, I love to meet new people and go on my daily runs. I like to play with my kennel mate and would benefit from meeting any dogs you already have. For me to live my best life I would need a home that has a yard big enough for me to tussle around. My adoption fee has been waived. If you're in the market for a Husky doggo, come visit me at HALO's main shelter today! Photo by: Michael Allyne Photography

Hello, my name is Moxxie and I am a handsome, larger lad mostly acting like a German Shepherd but there might be some Husky in me. I'm not yet two years old and have lots of energy for fun adventures and hikes. Because of that my best-fit home will need to have a yard for me to play in and spend time with you. I like to play my version of soccer with a durable kong ball and my favorite handler at HALO. I'm not just a handsome face, I also have a very active mind and enjoy learning new things. If my personality hasn't sold you yet, I also go potty outside and love to play with other dogs. My adoption fee has been waived. If you'd like to meet me, please bring your other doggos from home and I'll be waiting to meet you at HALO's main shelter located at 3227 E Bell Rd, Ste D151 in Phoenix.

Our Story

HALO (Helping Animals Live On) is a private, 501(c)(3), non-profit organization founded in 1994 by two women, Michel Herstam and Heather Allen, out of their homes in Phoenix, AZ. HALO provides temporary shelter to abandoned cats and dogs until they can be adopted into a permanent home.

In 2008, HALO transitioned from a completely foster-based organization to one with their first shelter facility on 35th Avenue in Phoenix. In 2011, HALO also moved into an underutilized building at the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) West facility and began offering pets for adoption from there as well. In 2012, HALO added a PetSmart Charities "Everyday Adoption Center" at the PetSmart in Deer Valley to their offsite locations.

In 2006 HALO opened its first thrift boutique to help raise funds for the homeless pets. Our current thrift boutique, open since July, 2009, is located at 11649 North Cave Creek Road in Phoenix.
