Pawsh

Love this place! We found our special cat friend here and they were nice helping us get some things for her. Every time the wife and I stop by Park Place, we come in and check out what they have. They also recently renovated, so the place looks really nice. They have some cool cat toys and other cat products. If you like cats, check this place out!

I have a complete weakness for any place where I can go to meet new adorable dogs! This little pet boutique on the top floor of La Encantada shopping center features adoptable little furry friends ready to greet you. They only feature a few little guys and gals at a time since it is a small shop but always well worth the stop for me. The shop also benefits local animals and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and has a good selection of you typical pet needs including collars, leashes, toys, carrying bags, and pet apparel. I’ve never had great service stopping in here, even when I was buying things for my furry kids at home, the staff was never very attentive to me nor my husband, but the cute puppy faces in the store make up for it.

If you’re looking for a new animal friend and can’t make it to the Humane Society’s main shelter, you can often find many great critters at PAWSH. Thursday through Sunday, there are smaller or younger dogs available for adoption, and there are usually 10 or 12 cats there as well, and the occasional gerbil, ferret, or bunny. The staff is very helpful, and if you don’t find the critter you’re looking for, they can check the animals who are up for adoption at the main shelter as well. There are often specials advertised, making the adoption fees (which include spay/​neuter, shots, etc.) an even better deal.
The store also carries lots of pet goodies, including toys and collars, which are tax-​free, and all profits go to helping the shelter animals. The prices are on par with what you’d pay at a retailer like Petsmart, though they also often have used kennels and crates for much cheaper than what you’d pay new. There are often specials as well, including a kiosk of $ 4 chew toys and beds for half-​off.
Even if you’re not looking for a new friend, it’s fun to stop by and say «hello» to the cats who need homes. Even if there’s no more room for critters in your house (like mine!), seeing fluffy kitties after the stress and bustle of the mall can make your day! :)
