Animals Benefit Club specializes in the most severe abandonment, neglect and abuse cases. Many of these Critical Care animals arrive severely ill or injured and require substantial funds to give them a chance at a normal life and a happy, forever home.
ABC also focuses on Street Rescue to help reduce pet overpopulation and alleviate the suffering of homeless cats and dogs. These animals are almost never altered and would otherwise continue to breed exponentially.
Hunter, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix, was recently found staggering along the side of the road after being hit by a car. Despite losing his front leg, he’s adjusting very well (he is fast!) and is still a sweet, loving boy.
Roscoe arrived at MCACC with a broken leg. Once we saw his cute face we just had to help him! Thankfully his leg didn’t require surgery, only a splint. After 8 weeks of limited activity, including many on-leash trips in the yard, the splint is now off. He will remain on limited activity for a few more weeks. Roscoe has an easy-going personality, loves people, and is friendly with other dogs.
ABC rescued a German Shepherd from an abandoned scrap metal yard in mid-August. Her “home” was an asphalt lot surrounded by a chain link fence and absolutely no shade. Princess was scared and nervous when she first arrived at ABC, but quickly warmed up to the staff and loves to be in her cool kennel!
Biscuit was found abandoned in an apartment with his young mother, Ginger, and three siblings: Sneakers, Butters, and Maddie. They had been in foster, but are now at ABC until they find their forever homes.
Happy holidays and thank you for your continued support! Your donation allows ABC to provide food, medical care, and shelter to homeless animals who need us the most. Make a tax-deductible gift today!
Thank you for helping ABC make a difference!
Celebrate #GivingTuesday 2018!
Celebrate #GivingTuesday!
There are two days for getting deals – Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday is a day to give back and kick off the season of giving. For nonprofits a majority of their annual donations occur in the last three months of the year, ABC is no exception. Our success depends on generous gifts from supporters just like you!
ABC invites you to celebrate #GivingTuesday on Tuesday, November 27. We greatly appreciate your ongoing support, which has allowed us to make a difference for homeless animals like Hunter, Biscuit, Roscoe, Zeke and Zoe. Now we need your help to make an even bigger difference. Thanks to a generous donor every donation made on #GivingTuesday will be matched up to $2,500!
$2,500 IN ONE DAY + $2,500 MATCH = $5,000!
$5,000 will allow us to provide medical treatment for a Critical Care animal or help offset food and shelter expenses for our rescue cats and dogs. ABC also has no paid administrative staff, which means 100% of your donation goes directly to the animals!
To make a donation online, simply click the blue “DONATE” button to the right (scroll down if you’re on a mobile device) or mail a check to Animals Benefit Club, 3111 E St John Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032 and include “Giving Tuesday” in your donation description.
Will you help make an even bigger difference for homeless animals?

Boys Team Charity Service Day!
Boys Team Charity Service Day at ABC
This past weekend, a group of 14 senior high school boys, along with their parents, came to the shelter for a service day.
They are all members of Boys Team Charity (btc), a volunteer service organization dedicated to son/parent participation in charitable activities. ABC was selected as their Senior Project charity, after an recent adopter saw there was a lot of things they could do to help the facility. So far, they have spent two six-hour service days at the shelter.
We appreciate and thank each of the members of btc North Valley for their help trimming trees, fixing gates and fences, planting trees, cleaning fans, and much more! They will wrap up their project in January with repairs to the parking lot and clean up throughout the facility.
Learn how btc is making a difference at boysteamcharity.org or btcnorthvalley.chapterweb.net.

Nielsen Volunteer Day at ABC!
Nielsen Volunteer Day at ABC!
Every year, Nielsen chooses a nonprofit to support for a day. Animals Benefit Club was nominated by one of their employees and we were entered into their pool of nonprofits. We were so excited to hear ABC won the final vote by a landslide!
In mid-June ABC hosted the group of Nielsen volunteers, which turned out to be one of our largest groups, 16 people! Our Animal Caregivers were thrilled to have so many helping hands available to tackle all sorts of tasks.
Here are just some of the projects they assisted with during their time at ABC:
- Yard work, and A LOT of it: trimming trees, tackling weeds, and raking leaves
- Cleaned up the front driveway
- Scrubbed each and every dog Kuranda bed. Each dog received a like-new bed back in their kennel!
- Collected and cleaned all the Nylabones from the yards and kennels and re-distributed. It was like everyone got a new bone!
- Cleaned each and every floor fan
- Folded and distributed all the laundry from the Activity Center to the other buildings. It was a lot of laundry!
- Cleaned counters, microwaves, stovetop
This amazing group went above and beyond to help out and we are very appreciative of their hard work. We’ve even had some people return to attend our Volunteer Orientation and continue as ABC Volunteers!
Thank you Nielsen for volunteering your time for the animals!
Thank You for the Cat Condos!
New Cat Condos for the ABC Catio!
Thank you to Eagle Scout Drew for holding a successful linen drive and for making all these weather proof cat condos! These are AWESOME and will be used in our fully enclosed outdoor “catios”!

ABC will be closed to the public on the Fourth of July. We will reopen on Saturday at 11am.
All volunteers are welcome to drop-in on the Fourth of July anytime between 11am-2pm or 6pm-8pm to help socialize and keep our animals calm.
COMETS Coin Drive Success!
COMETS Leadership Class Host a Coin Drive for ABC!
Thank you once again to the COMETS at Desert Springs Preparatory! This is their 4th consecutive year to host a coin drive and pizza sale to raise money for Animals Benefit Club. Mrs. Berg and her sixth grade leadership class presented ABC with a check for $1,261 and everyone got to meet Wesley, one of our adoptable dogs!
Thank you to this wonderful group of young adults and their teacher for supporting ABC and the community!

Thank You Boy Scouts!
Boy Scouts Make a Difference for the Animals at ABC
A huge SHOUT OUT to ABC volunteer Jason and Boy Scout Troop 644 for completing his Eagle Scout Service Project last weekend. They filled pot holes in the parking lot and all over the play yards. It was a huge job – 5 tons of dirt that had to be compacted as they went. Not to mention the redecorated outdoor, enclosed “catio” complete with carpeted perches and a ramp! The community cats LOVE the use of the vertical space and they enjoy looking out on the neighborhood. A very special thank you to Jason and to everyone who participated in or contributed to this project!
Gavin’s “Wish to Give”
Gavin Fulfilled his “Wish to Give” to the Rescue Animals
Gavin is only 12 years old and is bravely battling cancer with his bulldog, Gigi, by his side. With the help of Make-A-Wish Arizona Gavin fulfilled his “wish to give” and hosted a pet food & supply drive to help our rescue animals. Thank you Gavin for your giving spirit and to everyone who donated items!
Birthday Gifts for the Animals
Volunteers Gave Birthday Gifts to ABC!
Thank you to these two wonderful young ladies for their support and donations! For a second year in a row, instead of asking for birthday presents for themselves, they asked for donations for the animals at ABC! What an inspiration they are!
If you’d like to celebrate your birthday with gifts for the animals, please get in touch with us for our current donation needs or view our wish list items.
