Soto, the operations manager at the Arizona Pet Project, wants to change that. The nonprofit is slated to open its first resource center later this month in south Phoenix. The Arizona Pet Project emphasizes the connection between humans and animals and provides services to both people and their pets to keep them together despite hardship.
