Dr. Carlos Arreola established the sanctuary in 1999 as a home for burros targeted for eradication from their Grand Canyon home. Soon after the sanctuary opened its doors, an expanded mission of helping animals in distressed situations was undertaken.
Animal guests have their care and comfort needs met in this no-kill, non-profit sanctuary. The facility has temperature-controlled housing, clinic, a peaceful cemetery and is set in an area of natural beauty surrounded by Little Woman Pond, enchanting woods and footpaths through the leaf-covered grounds. An art gallery and gift shop featuring animal-themed items allows visitors a chance to take a bit of the atmosphere home with them while helping our work here.
Dr. Arreola, founder of Little Woman Home for Animals, remains chief caregiver and hero to his animal guests, assisted by a small but dedicated group of capable volunteers helping carry on the mission. He is a retired Veterans Administration Counselor and Vietnam Combat-Wounded Veteran. After Vietnam, his focus shifted to rescuing animals and wildlife. The name "Little Woman" came from a precious Chihuahua rescued over 35 years ago from an abusive situation, the first of so many animals cared for over the years. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Additional adoption info
If you're looking for a well cared for adoptable pet, we've got some of the most adorable ones you can imagine. Since our special purpose at LWHA is the care of older animals, we have more mature pets than young ones. But you'll find these 'grown-ups' ready to brighten your life in the way only a loving pet can. They're past their 'high energy phase', are calmer and more manageable and ready to settle down in their new life with you.
Please be aware that Little Woman Home for Animals puts their animal friends first. Our adoption policy is intended to assure us any adopted animals will be going only to a loving home for life. We are serious about this commitment and expect the same from those who adopt. We know how well cared for our guests are here and insist that those who adopt maintain that same level of care.
