About Us
One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.
– Henry David Thoreau
High Country Humane was created to provide high-caliber animal shelter services and help elevate animal welfare throughout northern Arizona.
Together with our community partners and YOU, we will provide the highest level of care possible for the companion animals in our region and ensure that no animal is euthanized for time, space, or treatable condition. More than that, we will continually work to provide the most desirable outcomes for our beloved animals with programs and services that assist both pets and the families who love them.
Our Mission
High Country Humane transforms lives by providing exceptional animal care and adoption services, supporting and strengthening the bond between pets and people, and advocating for the well-being of all animals.
Our Vision
High Country Humane envisions a society in which;
- Animals live free of suffering.
- Every pet-in-need has access to necessary services, rehabilitation and if needed, re-homing.
- The human-animal bond is celebrated, respected and supported as an integral part of the community.
