About Us
Pets Return Home is a nonprofit organization providing canine behavior modification, training and convalescence support to municipal shelters, animal rescue organizations, and the community. Our mission, save lives, enrich welfare and build adoptability of homeless animals drives our every action.
The dogs we help are victims of human ignorance, neglect, abuse and animal shelter over-population. They require professional rehabilitation to restore their confidence, trust and ability to be loving family companions.
Our behavior team, led by Mark Happe has 30 years of behavior rehabilitation expertise.
The training team is led by Thom Milburn, a US Marine Corps canine handler and trainer since the Viet Nam war.
Our medical team is led by Mark Happe, WFR with Kellie Shamrell, DVM as our advising veterinarian. Our operations management is led by Nora Laube.

Using proven behavior development techniques, socialization, exercise and a specially trained dog pack our program has saved hundreds of lives and built as many happy families.
Our 4-acre facility, surrounded by national forest and located on the Verde River in Sycamore Canyon provides several courage-building courses and miles of hiking and biking trails.

We depend upon volunteers and public donations for our continued success.
We have many volunteer opportunities to help our dogs reach their full potential of becoming a loving companion through adoption. Please consider volunteering with us and contact us at: [email protected].

Animals bring so much joy into the lives of people who appreciate them. Dogs, especially, display all the positive traits that seem to be lacking in society today. Love, admiration, appreciation, and things like that are very rewarding from an animal. They love you unconditionally, and there is a special bond that is not like anything else. Thank you for helping these lives find and bring happiness. ~Anonymous Donor
