"They do sooo much for the dogs here and they are always going above and beyond no matter what!! They help soooo many we need them!!!! AZ animal crisis is already really bad here and they help as much as they can! I love them!"

"One Love AZ consistently provides medical care, enrichment and hope for the shelter dogs in the Phoenix area."

"One Love deserves the WORLD and more. When I found an emaciated and injured stray pittie in January, they immediately volunteered to cover his medical expenses and whatever else he needed in order to help me keep him. They always put the public first, whether that be the dogs in need of homes or the dogs that already do have homes but need support (such as the free spay and neuter events they offer in the community). What differentiates One Love is their attitude. I have never met such a supportive, uplifting, and spirited group of people. If I could vote for them a million times, I would!!"

"My girlfriend and I found an emaciated dog in Tempe Arizona moments before we were about to go walk dogs at the local animal shelter. Since we were active volunteers, we knew people who worked with rescues and she paired us with One Love Arizona. They have supported us financially and have done so much for us to help our pittie change his life."

"I have personally not experienced this shelter but I have seen first hand what their shelter did for my friend who recently lost his best friend of 10* years. He adopted the sweetest little fur baby and it has brought him back to life after his loss. So grateful to all the people that make this safe haven possible for these loveable fur babies."

"One Love is such an asset to the dog community"

— stacey r.

Supporter

"I recently lost my best friend after 10+ years. I was headed down a dark path where I knew I wouldn't get myself back to me. I had been following One Love for a while & finally made the decision to adopt one of their dogs to save myself. One Love does amazing work! They NOT only rescue dogs from the shelter but they even give enrichment to the dogs that are in the shelter every week. They truly are angels here on Earth. I finally made the decision on the dog I wanted. The rescue couldn't have been nicer or more professional. They arranged a meeting for me and my preferred choice. It was love at first sight. The dog I adopted was named King but I later changed that to Sabori. I know he has had a rough life, from what I know of his story he spent most his years outside. He was alone & scared, as was I. I tell him every night "now we don't have to be alone anymore". They are very supportive even after adoption. Their adoption rates are very reasonable compared to other rescues. The thing I love the most about them is they don't judge. I don't have the fanciest house but I give my best friends ALL I have (love & attention). Most rescues only want the people with the fanciest houses and the richest bank accounts, all that doesn't mean it is a better house. One Love saved me because they gave me a dog that needed me as much as I needed him."

"I have been volunteering with One Love Arizona for 5 years. It’s an amazing rescue that supports shelter dogs in so many ways. Enrichment, medical, fostering, and continues to support the dogs even after they are adopted through free training and behavior consults. We want dogs to succeed in the new family and make it a success for everyone in the family. We provide free spay and neuter clinics to unaltered dogs along collars and tags. Everyone of us loves the shelter dogs so much. We network them continuously trying to find their forever families. Many of us volunteer at the county shelter"

About the author

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development. David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners. Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature. David is based in Salem, MA.

My Dog Is Food Aggressive With Other Dogs: What To Do
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Scent Training for Dogs: A Beginner's Guide
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
Service Dog Training Costs: DIY vs. Pro
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Daily Exercise Calculator: How Much Exercise Does Your Dog Need?

Dog reactivity guides

Rottweiler Aggression: Truth vs. Myth
Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
What Is a Reactive Dog? A Guide to Understanding Reactivity
So: Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (cars, bikes, skateboards, and other fast-moving objects are also common triggers) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling not only feels embarrassing for you — it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize a Reactive Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
