Simone and Puppies Rescued
Second mama with puppies rescued
This mama and her EIGHT two-week-old puppies were rescued from the San Carlos Reservation at the same time as our Teenage Mutant Ninja Puppies! She was also living on a chain and all of them were exposed to FREEZING COLD temperatures in mid-November 2020. ABC responded to the urgent plea to rescue this precious family and placed them into a foster home.
Now available to adopt!
Simone and her German Shepherd mix puppies – Elizabeth, Steven, Daphne, Joey, Victoria, Elliot, Penelope, Jasper – are all ready to find their forever homes. They are a friendly, mellow group and are getting bigger every day! Puppies require a huge commitment of time and energy – socialization, enrichment, training, etc. Sadly, many puppies are abandoned around 8-18 months old. Please make an informed decision! If you are ready to commit the next 15+ years to raising a puppy, please submit an adoption questionnaire.
Make a donation towards their medical expenses
To spay/neuter, vaccinate & microchip all NINE dogs will cost approximately $3600. Any size contribution is appreciated! Please consider an online, tax-deductible donation or mail a check to Animals Benefit Club, 3111 E St John Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032. Include “Simone & Puppies” in your donation description. Thank you!
Teenage Mutant Ninja PUPPIES
Mama and puppies rescued
This beautiful mama dog was living on a chain, exposed to the elements on the San Carlos Reservation in southeastern Arizona. She had a litter of pups in the FREEZING COLD in mid-November 2020. ABC responded to the urgent plea to rescue this precious family and placed them into a foster home.
Now available to adopt!
The litter happens to fit their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle counterparts perfectly! These adorable, sweet fur babies will be 8 weeks old on January 22 and ready to adopt. While they look like dogs, they still act very much like puppies. Puppies require a huge commitment of time and energy – socialization, enrichment, training, etc. Sadly, many puppies are abandoned around 8-18 months old. Please make an informed decision! If you are ready to commit the next 15+ years to raising a puppy, please submit an adoption questionnaire for pre-adoption.
Would you like to help cover their medical expenses?
Each pup and mama – there are EIGHT in total – will cost approximately $400 to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated & microchipped. Any size contribution is appreciated! Please consider an online, tax-deductible donation or mail a check to Animals Benefit Club, 3111 E St John Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032. Include “Ninja Puppies” in your donation description. Thank you!
Mona Lisa (Mama): PRE-ADOPTED

Donatello : PRE-ADOPTED
Leonardo
Leo is an intelligent and adventurous leader and is quite the charming, happy puppy! He enjoys an equal balance of quality time with his person and play time with his siblings. He loves to explore and find hidden “treasures”, usually something random and something he is NOT supposed to have, but still quite proud nonetheless!
Michelangelo
Mikey is an all-around goofball. He loves to chase the mop, run around carrying things that are 3 times his size, and loves belly rubs and snacks. Pretty much exactly the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle he was named after.
Raphael
Raph can be a bit of a loner. He is often found wandering off on his own, but always finds his way back to his brother, Mikey. He is a very sweet boy and loves belly rubs.
Casey Jones
Casey is quite feisty and very intelligent! He has been the first to do everything… open his eyes, growl, bark, walk, play, etc. He could totally be a hockey player. Ideally, he would be adopted with his sister, April (they play very well together) or to a family with an older puppy that can keep up with him.
April O’Neil
April is the cutest little girl ever! She loves to be cuddled, held and loved on, but can be a little firecracker when it comes time to play. She is the smallest of the litter, but don’t tell her that! Ideally, she would be adopted either with her brother, Casey (they play very well together) or to a family with an older puppy that can keep up with her.
Critical Care Corner: Cody
Cody Rescued From the Trash
UPDATE: Because of YOUR contribution, Cody is expected to lead a very normal life! Thank you for your support and the wonderful talents of Dr. Zoe Reed and her team at Eyeshine Veterinary! Here are some photos that document Cody’s story, from the time he was rescued to his post-op visit.
An ABC volunteer found Cody left for dead in the trash. He suffers from a birth defect called “cherry eye” in both eyes. His medical issue went unattended so it caused additional complications which will require extensive surgery to repair them.
Cody is a purebred Maltese, only 4 months old and barely weighing 5 pounds, who is the sweetest ball of fluff you’ll meet! We are currently working with Dr. Reed and her team at Eyeshine Veterinary to determine the best course of action for Cody. We need to raise $2,400 to cover his surgery and medical care. Cody is with a foster family and won’t be available to adopt until he’s made a full recovery.
To help with Cody’s medical expenses donate online or mail a check (scroll down for the address). Please include “Cody Critical Care” in your donation description. As always, your donation is tax-deductible. Funds donated beyond our estimate will go towards future Critical Care animals.
A very special THANK YOU to Albertsons, Safeway and Vons – Southwest Division for their generous grant that will help with future Critical Care expenses!

Thor Rescued After a Hit-and-Run

Critical Care Corner: Charlie
Charlie Rescued from a Canal
A good Samaritan rescued Charlie from a canal. He was covered in ticks and nasty welts from a tight harness. After the ticks were removed, Charlie arrived at ABC where he is on the mend and undergoing medical treatment. Despite all of his hardships, Charlie is a wonderful, happy dog who enjoys spending time with everyone.

Critical Care Corner: Lucas
Lucas Neglected by Former Owners
Lucas was horribly neglected by his former owners and when he became ill, rather than provide the medical treatment he desperately needed, they abandoned him and he wound up on the e-list. The first photo shows Lucas in agonizing pain, utterly dejected, on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized.
Fortunately, an ABC volunteer heard of Lucas’s predicament and immediately transferred him to University Animal Hospital to see if doctors could save his life. Lucas was quickly diagnosed with Lupus and began immediate treatment. After just five weeks, Lucas has almost fully recovered and is all smiles!

Lola Rescue
Reward Offered for Safe Return of Newborn Pups
A litter of newborn puppies was snatched from a field before they could be rescued and now there’s a reward being offered for their safe return to their mother.
Lola is a beautiful girl. This former street dog has a home at the Animals Benefit Club shelter in Phoenix, but her five 3-day old puppies are missing.
“It’s a very unusual situation..we can’t figure out why…” said ABC’s Andra Jeffress.
The person who discovered the puppies in a field near 43rd Avenue and Glendale took a picture of them, called for help and left the scene…
Sophia and Her Puppies Rescued
Mama Dog Leads Rescuers to Litter of Puppies
Heat is hard on animals, especially dogs with fur coats. A mother dog in Mesa knew better than to leave her pups in the heat — she sought out some two-legged rescuers!
They look like six little balls of fur. Just 10 days old, these puppies were rescued when they were only six hours old. After giving birth, the mama dog went looking for help for her puppies and found it.
While her puppies were sleeping nearby, the canine sat in the middle of a busy street. A lot of people drove right past her, but Jim and Laura Wilkes stopped and they are glad they did.
“She so cute, how can you not help her, its 108 degrees!” exclaims Laura.
But the mother dog would not go with them. They had to follow her…
Ladybug Rescue
Woman spends months trying to save stray dog in Mesa
by Scott Craven – Sept. 7, 2010 06:11 PM
The Arizona Republic
It was just one dog.
It roamed a concrete basin south of Mesa’s Fiesta Mall, not far from a two-story parking garage where everyday shoppers likely caught a glance of the stray, scared and dirty, ribs poking through matted fur. Maybe they shook their heads and felt pity before stuffing their bags into their trunks and driving away.
Because it was just one dog.
A few months earlier, it had been two dogs. A large yellow dog ran with the smaller, scrawny one, until a rescue agency was called and took away the yellow dog, which eventually had to be euthanized.
But the smaller dog was too smart, too fast to be taken in. And so the man carrying the long pole with the noose gave up, hopping into his truck and disappearing.
Leaving just the one dog.
On a morning in early June, the sun peeking over the horizon, Gerlinde Arbizu pulled into the Fiesta Mall lot, as she did several times a week, dropping her daughter Christina at her job. The two live just five minutes away, so Arbizu didn’t mind her part-time chauffeur duty.
As Christina got out, she turned to shut the door, facing south toward the Superstition Freeway. And she noticed movement in some bushes not far from the chain-link fence that separates the mall from the freeway.
“Mom,” she said, “I think there’s a dog over there.”
Arbizu got out and looked to where her daughter was pointing. And yes, about 100 feet away, a dog huddled under the shrubs…
Selene Rescue
Selene and Her Puppies Rescued from Canal
A dog and her two newborn puppies are getting help, after surviving for months on their own.
Animals Benefit Club have now stepped in to help the family of dogs, but for the past few months, they lived in a trash-filled canal.
Mom and her puppies survived on scraps of food.
“They’re in fairly good shape, because people have been feeding them for the past couple months,” says Andra Jeffress from ABC.
People who noticed the dogs but couldn’t get near them knew they needed help. That’s when they called Animals Benefit Club.
At first its volunteers had little luck with the dogs. “They would go and hide because they were very leery of strangers,” says Jeffress…
