AZ Humane Society breaks ground on innovative animal shelter

Pets hoping to be adopted into forever homes will soon be welcome at the Arizona Humane Society’s Rob and Melani Walton Papago Park Campus, a new, state-of-the-art facility. “We chose Papago Park for our latest center because we wanted a central location that was highly accessible,” CEO Steven Hansen said. “This site gives us great freeway access, but most importantly, we needed to operate in a safe neighborhood because our trauma hospital will run 24/7, so our volunteers and fosters must be able to come and go in the middle of the night safely.”
