Animal Cops: Phoenix, formerly titled Animal Planet Heroes: Phoenix, is an American documentary reality television series that premiered in 2008 on Animal Planet. The program follows the work of the seventeen emergency animal medical technicians employed by the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) in Phoenix, Arizona.
The AHS employs ten full-time veterinarians, most at their on-site hospital called "Second Chance." The AHS takes in more than 50,000 animals per year; 10,000 of these are rescued. During 2005, the AHS found homes for 18,028 companion animals in their work in preventing and prosecuting animal cruelty in Phoenix, Arizona.[1]
The series is part of an umbrella rotation of shows known collectively as Animal Planet Heroes, along with shows set in New York (Animal Precinct); Detroit, Michigan (Animal Cops: Detroit); Houston, Texas (Animal Cops: Houston); Miami, Florida (Miami Animal Police); and San Francisco, California (Animal Cops: San Francisco). This is the first show that used the umbrella designator in its title.
