Pets Return Home

Rescues dogs that no one else will take and rehabilitates them. Well cared for and able to roam on the facility freely once they are trained. This rescue is like no other. I would suggest making a visit to see for yourself.

Mark Happe loves dogs. He lives for them, he knows what he does is a difficult calling a heartbreaking calling and a rewarding calling.
Pets return home is a really great place for our community. People who for whatever reason can't keep their dogs, he will take them and re home them. He takes unwanted pregnant dogs and takes care of them, vaccinates and
Gets all the dogs altered before adoption. He throws adoption events that are organized and fun!
Pets return home depends on donations and volunteers to continue to save unwanted dogs and puppy's.

Mark gave us a great puppy. He was concerned about his health and made sure that spay and neuter is given a priority. Wonderful care and treatment of his 'flock.' He also reviews applications thoroughly to make sure his puppies go to adequate and caring homes with yards. I would recommend Pets Return Home to anyone who is looking to adopt a puppy.

Wonderful group of people working hard to help these lovable dogs

Pets Return Home is run by an incredibly experienced "dog whisperer" who understands training, behavior and the importance of being compassionate and supportive to all dogs. He recognizes the issues in dog adoption community and works 110% to get these pets ready for adoptive homes. On a huge ranch, these dogs get the foundation that they have been missing all their life. I have seen so many of the dogs he has worked with find loving, permanent homes. These are the underdogs, the ones who wouldn't have made it without Pets Return Home.

Pets Return Home was one of the first rescues that asked for references and took the time to follow up and call each and every one. They thoroughly asked about household members of all varieties and accommodated my family coming to visit on a different day than typically available. They were great with my small children and let them play with and love on all the pups. We found the right one for us and the love and commitment that Mark had and visible sadness to see a beloved friend get chosen was touching. They were available for questions and make the hard choices that were best for the pups. Mark offered to care for our pup himself when she got sick and gave us all the instructions to see her through. Our pups are amazing members of our family and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pets Return Home to anyone looking for a new family member.

Great to adopt from! Mark loves all the dogs! Facility clean and dogs taken care of!

We got our newest addition from Mark and he was very well cared for and adapted to his new pack easily. The sanctuary is a really neat place where all sorts of dogs can go for a second chance at life, or live out the rest of their days if need be. A wonderful organization that is much needed in the area!

Mark Happe is one of the most dedicated people I have ever met. He is dedicated to the cause of homeless dogs and finding them a furever home! We happen to have benefited from his efforts when we adopted Rose last March 17th. She is a beautiful red and tan, medium size dog, but her personality is what is so awesome! She is the sweetest thing ever! Our lives have truly been enhanced because of Mark's selfless life and dedication to these animals. God bless Mark Happe and Pet's Return Home!!!!!

Love Pets Return Home! Most of the work is done by Mark Happe. He is there 24/7/365. Mark works magic with even the worst dogs and has saved hundreds over the years. I adopted from PRH and volunteer when I can. I’d give PRH 10 stars if I could

We couldn't be happier with the socialization that our pup, Bruce Wayne, received prior to us taking him home. He loves with all his puppy might!
Thank you, Pets Return Home❤

This place does so much for dogs . It takes in tough dogs rehabs them and finds great homes for them. Also a sanctuary for dogs that need a forever home. A little bit of heaven for dogs.

I met Mark when I was transporting one of The Pets Return Home to his forever home in NM. Mark invited me to see the ranch. Of course, every time I have the opportunity to visit a rescue, I take it As a transporter, I have dealt with many rescues. I can honestly say, that Mark Happe and Pets Return Home, is by far the best I've worked with. I was so impressed by Pets Return Home, I started to volunteer at the ranch. At Pets Return Home, Mark has made sure that the dogs are comfortable. The kennel area has a covering so the Arizona sun isn't hitting the dogs. The temperature in the kennel area is comfortable year round. The kennels are kept very clean and sanitized. Each kennel is large, all of which are true, roomy, comfortable kennels. The bowls and water buckets are cleaned regularly and the food and treats are always covered. He has put a lot of thought into the design of all the areas of the ranch. There was a time I was fearful of pitbulls, never having dealt with any one to one. I feared them until I started volunteering at Pets Return Home. The very first interaction I had was with a pitbull named Nala. I was sitting on the couch, Nala came up, thinking she was a little dog tried her best to be a lap dog. All 70+ pounds of her. She is just lovable. Nala has since been adopted and doing wonderfully. I'm grateful to Mark for helping me realize that with the right training, socialization, and most importantly love, dogs, regardless of breed can be loving pets. Mark works tirelessly with each and every dog that comes to him. I know he does, because I've been there enough to have seen it. I am awed by the amount of energy and care Mark has for all of the dogs at Pets Return Home.

This rescue has saved so many lives and continues to do so every day! ������������

My son and I visited this facility earlier this year to volunteer for a day. I was so impressed with the love and wonderful environment this is for all the fur babies!!

So grateful to Mark for what he does to care for, and even turn around so many dogs.

Beautiful facility! Lucky lucky dogs.:)

We know people who have been helped by pets return home. Great organization!!

This organization has helped so many pets and families through hard work, dedication and love of dogs.

Pets Return Home is an amazing facility that helps animals in many different ways. Not only do they adopt out animals they are a sanctuary for those who might not otherwise have a chance at adoption.

Mark Happe and PRH is a amazing 501c3 rescue that helps many dogs that would normally be PTS.. He trains them socializes all these animals to get them adopted to forever homes... He also takes in mama/puppies... gets them all trained socialized .. has people come daily to love on them on his animals .. I am extremely impressed with Mark and all his hard loving work .. Brandy...

I've visited Pets Return Home on a few occasions and am impressed more every time. It's a really wonderful home for dogs of every breed, age and personality out there. There is plenty of open space for exercise, shelter for weather conditions and areas for care giving.

I've known Mark for over seven years and can vouch for his dedication, compassion and energy he's put into this. When I visit the dogs seem so happy and content, the trust and love that they have for him is evident. I am proud to be a supporter and friend and am thankful for his role in the community and everything he does for these animals in need!

We got our baby Deuce from there and were so impressed how Mark and all his volunteers were with the dogs. Most shelters are just shelters; PRH is so much more! These dogs would be perfectly fine staying there forever and some in sanctuary situations do. They do a huge amount for all of them!

if you love dogs you will love Pets Return Home. They take on the dogs many other shelters leave behind. With love and positive reinforcement they work to train and rehabilitate each one as needed until they are adoptable. The facility is clean and well maintained with areas for every kind of dog needs including a maternity area. Many of the dogs roam freely around the ranch, a great dogs life. I liked the place so much I now volunteer.
These dogs are amazing and when you find one you want to take home odds are there is someone there to tell you about that dogs personality. If it's puppies you want they have them too. The dogs come to Pets Return Home from many sources, owner surrender, other rescues and organizations, strays, and euthanasia lists. Each is welcomed until they find their forever home. For dogs that are not considered adoptable they have a sanctuary program. They have successfully adopted out over 700 dogs! It is simply one of the best rescues around. Come check it out, and consider donating as well. Theses people and these dogs deserve our support.

I have nothing but great things to say about Mark and Pets Return Home. This is the best shelter I have seen in Arizona. The dogs learn from other dogs and the after adoption help sets families up for success.

I have known Mark for many years. He's a very caring, loving and knowledgeable man. He gives 200 % to the animals that he takes in and cares for. I feel very confident that any donations he gets goes directly to his animals. Any support anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Pets Return Home is a unique dog rescue and rehabilitation facility. All the dogs who get along with each other are allowed to be out in the fenced property rather than be placed in separate kennels. It reminds me of a farm/ranch with dogs instead of cows, horses, etc. The dogs love to follow the volunteers around as they do their chores. This makes for great socialization with other dogs and people when they go to their forever home. Keep up the good work.

I love dogs and have a rescue fur baby of my own. Last year I read about how Pet's Return Home saved the lives of wolf mothers and their babies and I was immediately intrigued. I filled out an application to volunteer, really having no idea what to expect, and have been volunteering there ever since. Mark, who is the executive director, has created a safe and loving home for dogs who otherwise might be euthanized. He works with them to address behavior and socialization so that they can go to a forever home. His dedication is admirable as is the dedication of the many volunteers who work to help these dogs find a loving home. Each time I go I am greeted by a pack of wagging tails and happy faces. Working with Mark and the dogs is truly gratifying and there is nothing better than to see a dog find a loving family.

It all began when I was tagged in a post to save a dog that was going to be euthanized if $10 wasn't paid within the hour. I left work headed over paid and then picked up the dog the next day. I took the dog to my vet and find out the dog wasn't sick but had an eye condition unique to Sharpi. I got the medicine needed to help relieve pain and help the dog until it could get surgery. Well the original rescue backed out but Pets Return Home stepped in, I transported the dog up to Cottonwood. Mark took the dog in and made sure he received the surgery he needed. While I have always adopted rescues this was the first time I was involved in literally saving a dogs life. I love being able to help transport dogs to the ranch or participate in a work day to help. What an awesome feeling. The unconditional caring Mark has for these dogs is unbelievable. I've watched first hand at the transformations. I've been working with Mark and Pets Return Home for over 5 years and do not regret getting in olved one bit. Wished I lived closer to help out more.

All of our family dogs but one, over 48 years of marriage, have been "rescues." So, when I discovered Pets Return Home at a community event and learned they are nearby our home in Sedona, I visited their website and applied as a volunteer. From my first visit to the PRH ranch in Clarkdale I knew I made a good choice. Mark Happe, founder and managing director, saw an unfilled need in the Arizona canine rescue community and created a great solution. Pets Return Home intakes dogs from shelters and rescue groups. Dogs typically come to PRH with at least two strikes against them. They usually are large breeds that stereotype as "dangerous." And they have one or more negative behavior issues (dog, people, food aggression(s), environmental insecurities, etc.). And sometimes we receive abandoned pregnant bitches. For the majority of these dogs Pets Return Home represents escape from euthanasia. PRH,s mission is to provide care to bring the dogs back to good health, provide rehabilitative behavior training and create and place healthy, happy lifetime companions in good homes. Over its six years in service to the community PRH has succeeded in its mission nearly 700 times. That's 700 dogs' lives changed, to say nothing of saved from death. Pets Return Home is 100% dependent upon private donations, grants and in-kind donations. PRH receives no governmental funding. We are 95% dependent upon volunteers to "run the business," from doody duty to repairs and maintenance to fund-raising. From dog walking to dog bathing to dog socializing. If you love dogs and believe Pets Return Home is filling a much needed role, I know that you can donate your cash or time with full confidence that both enrich the lives of our dogs, not our humans.

I found Pets Return Home when I was looking for a shelter to donate some blankets I had knitted. Mark was super nice and responsive, and with my first visit I was amazed that it wasn’t a typical shelter, it was a sanctuary and place where anxious or aggressive dogs can be socialized so they can be adopted instead of euthanized. I have had the opportunity to foster two dogs, and I just adopted Leah, who was there because she was “thrown away” when she was pregnant. PRH gave her a home to have and raise her puppies. The environment is more like a big family with lots of space for the dog-social dogs to roam free (plus an agility course!). PRH helps other shelters by taking in dogs that need to be socialized before adoption, freeing up space for another animal to be saved. PRH is not supported by the city or county as other shelters are; they are solely supported by donations, so please help!
