My beautiful boy Pudding had passed away unexpectedly in the middle of September and I was at a loss on what to do afterwards. I knew I wanted him cremated, but was struggling on where to go. Thankfully, my mom helped me find L.E.A.S.H and they were so patient with me during the time that I was gathering funds for their service. When I did show up to the building (I didn't want them to drive over a hour out,) I met up with Greg and he commented on how awesome Pudding looked (I agree, he was the best snake I ever had) and seemed truly sympathetic for me on losing him. Since it's a long trip back out to Phoenix for me, they even held onto him for a couple weeks until I was able to pick him up. I'm very grateful, thank you so much.

My husband dog was hit by a car at night. My husband was distraught and I honestly didn’t know what to do. I knew we wanted to cremate our boy so I woke up early and found LEASH. They were informative (on text per my request) and kind. The person that picked up my baby was nice and sincere. I highly recommend LEASH for your animal crossing journey.

Sadly My 11.5 year old Blue bully passed in his sleep in the middle of the night. My experience with LEASH was dealt with care and compassion. They communicated and arrived timely and Gregg who arrived to take care of my boy was very kind in caring for my beloved pet.

Frequently Asked Questions: L.E.A.S.H. Pet Mortuary

What is the L.E.A.S.H. Community Relief Project?

The L.E.A.S.H. Community Relief Project is a dedicated compassionate initiative providing completely free pet cremation services for unhoused and homeless members of our community experiencing pet loss. We believe that every beloved companion deserves to be treated with dignity, regardless of their owner’s financial or housing situation. Through this relief project, we provide zero-cost communal (mass) pet cremation services and a complimentary, meaningful keepsake to help grieving owners honor their pet’s memory.

Who qualifies for the free L.E.A.S.H. Community Relief Project?

This program is exclusively designed for unhoused and homeless individuals residing within Maricopa County, Arizona, who have lost a pet and do not have the financial means for traditional aftercare. No documentation or complex verification is required to access the project; our priority is to remove all barriers to care and offer immediate, judgment-free support during an incredibly painful time.

How do I bring a pet to your office, and what are your hours?

Our main Phoenix office, located at 1912 West Campbell Ave Suite B, Phoenix, AZ 85015, accepts pets for the Community Relief Project 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Because our staff coordinates essential transport logistics and private home responses, please call our dispatch line directly at (602) 802-4040 right before coming down to ensure a team member is at the facility to open the doors and receive you and your pet immediately.

Will I get my pet’s ashes back, and do I receive a keepsake?

Because this free community service is a mass (communal) cremation, multiple pets are gently placed together in the process, meaning individual ashes cannot be separated or returned to the owner. However, we ensure that every pet’s memory is honored by providing a free, carefully taken fur clipping keepsake at the time of intake. This ensures that every unhoused owner leaves our facility with a tangible, permanent piece of their beloved companion to hold onto.

• No-Cost Community Relief Project is only available to homeless members of the Arizona Community.
• The owner must bring their pet to our 19th Ave & Campbell location for this package.
