Animal Defense League of Arizona has a long history of participation in coalitions, which are able to unify organizations to advocate for a common goal. This 
strategy is often more effective than single groups working alone. ADLA has successfully worked in diverse coalitions with member groups that have different perspectives than ADLA but are willing to collaborate on achieving a common goal. This is especially important in the legislative arena, where helping animals frequently requires compromise to obtain the best possible results. ADLA was a member group of several citizens’ ballot measure coalitions that banned cockfighting in 1998 and prohibited the inhumane confinement of farm animals in industrial agriculture operations in 2006. ADLA was also part of coalitions that defeated damaging ballot referendums including a constitutional ‘right to hunt’ measure in 2009 that could have overturned the law that banned traps and poisons on public lands.
Animal Defense League of Arizona is grateful to all of its supporters and volunteers.

Fix Adopt Save is a community project launched in 2013 by the Alliance for Companion Animals. It includes a comprehensive three-year plan to tackle Maricopa County’s homeless animal problem by dramatically increasing the availability of no-cost spay/neuter services to reduce shelter intake and euthanasia. Fix.Adopt.Save. is proud to announce that as of 2017, euthanasia rates have decreased by 79%, saving an additional 30,000 animals! With the community’s help, Fix.Adopt.Save. hopes to continue to save more lives until no pet is at risk. You can watch the 2017 video here.

Our volunteers also worked with Habitat Harmony in Flagstaff to relocate and save a colony of 179 prairie dogs from destruction in Flagstaff, and helped relocate prairie dogs away from firing ranges on the Camp Navajo Military Base.
