Serving Pima County
What We Do
We are a Southern Arizona registered 501(c)(3) humane dog trapping organization, specializing in the safe, strategic recovery of owner lost dogs and abandoned dogs who are at risk (injured, starving or in immediate danger)—whether they belong to a worried family or have been left to survive on their own.
Our approach centers on humane, professional trap‑assisted recovery and strategic consultations. Together, we work with one mission: giving every lost dog the best possible chance to be found. And for abandoned dogs who are starving, injured, pregnant, nursing, or otherwise at risk, we step in to give them a chance at safety and a future.
Our team uses only the most trusted tools—Tomahawk traps, Spartan live‑feed cameras, and finely tuned strategies—because every detail matters when your pet’s life is on the line.
Every rescue is a reminder that hope is never lost.
How Red Collar Was Born
Meet Tucker, the beloved English Mastiff of Mechelle, President and Founder of Red Collar Rescue & Recovery. After an unexpected escape from a boarding kennel, Tucker survived 22 long days alone in the desert, losing 48 pounds but never losing hope.
Throughout the ordeal, one truth became clear to Mechelle: there was no local, experienced team equipped to humanely trap and recover lost pets. What began as a crisis soon revealed a calling.
From that calling, Red Collar Rescue & Recovery was born, providing compassionate, humane trapping services so no family in her community has to face such a challenge alone.
About Us
Our Volunteers
Our volunteer crew is always growing! Oftentimes, folks that we have helped in the rescue of their dog are inspired to join our team! Every member of our team is fully trained and equipped to help our community in the rescuing of lost dogs. We do this for the love of dogs and our desire to help those in our community in a time of need to become reunited with their pets. We all have families and careers outside of this rescue and are 100% volunteer operated and donation funded with no one receiving a salary.
