A.R.T.A. is a 501(c)3 charitable organization and appreciates contributions toward caring for the veterinary, feeding, and housing needs of rescued cats and dogs awaiting adoption into safe, happy, permanent homes! The daily care of animals is a volunteer-run labor of love. A.R.T.A. is a small rescue in a rural area of Southeast Arizona. Because we are two hours from the nearest humane society, most of our adoptable animals are owner relinquished kittens and pups, cats and dogs. Most adopters are in Sierra Vista, Tucson, or Phoenix areas.
