Sun Valley Animal Shelter

Mission Statement

Sun Cities Animal Rescue Inc. (SCAR), dba "Sun Valley Animal Shelter" is a non-profit, tax exempt organization chartered as a No-Kill animal shelter.

Our mission is to provide humane housing, care and companionship for homeless dogs and cats in a comfortable setting which meets their physical and emotional needs until such time as adoption or other placement is secured. We are committed to cooperating with other area organizations dedicated to the rescue and care of homeless animals and to achieving humane solutions to the problem of pet overpopulation.

Vision Statement - Providing leadership and educating the community on animal welfare issues, we are the West Valley’s premier animal shelter, giving compassionate interim care with the goal of making successful, lasting partnerships between people and pets. Reduce euthanasia rates by increasing shelter adoptions, foster respect for animals and the responsibility of pet guardianship, and provide community awareness of the need to eliminate animal suffering due to abuse, neglect and ignorance.
