This process takes a bit. What have we accomplished so far? 

We have sent in our articles of organization to AZ, and we have the AZ entity ID. We have published the articles, opened a bank account (we are waiting from documents from the federal government in order to accept donations directly there.) Started our website, the shelterlove app, and have started the petfinder application process. We have also started a facebook, which in the future will hold more updates.
