| - Went here yesterday for two reasons-- to look at the dogs (we're going to get one soon!) and to check out the thrift store.
The thrift store is very, very reasonable and stocked pretty darn well. I found a really cute summer dress for $5, a price very worth it for something I need AND that goes to supporting the Humane Society!
Lots of cool stuff for pets-- kitty condos and scratchers, plus dry dog and cat food (along w/ some wet, too)... dog teeth cleaning stuff, plus collars for cats and dogs.
They have a large children's sections (clothes, shoes, some toys), lots of cookbooks, and a pretty solid sized housewares section. Everything seemed well-priced and the ladies working the front desk were very pleasant.
We then visited the dog, then the cat section, and I LOVED it! I've been to other shelters that put the more aggressive dogs out with the quiet dogs, and the result is loud pandemonium. The AZ Humane Society at this location separates the loud dogs from the quiet dogs (or so it seems... it could have been nap time ;) so the BF and I were able to spend a lot of time with each dog, really getting to watch them and read their biographies. The set up was very conducive to adopting a dog :)
The cats section was just as nice-- the kitties have a lot of room to roam, so it seems, and most looked well fed, clean, and happy (save for the poor little kitties whose tails were cut off, or had been found as strays).
Definitely a worthy place to support, and well worth a trip to check out the thrift store as well. I'm happy to support the AZ Humane Society!
