What kind of service can I expect from Maricopa County Animal Care and Control moving forward?

Saving lives has been, and will continue to be, the primary mission of Maricopa County Animal Care and Control.  In August 2018, 96% of the more than 2,700 animals that came into our shelters were adopted or relocated.  Two years ago, the live-release rate was 84%

Animal intake in Maricopa County has declined 13% every year for the last five years, creating the possibility for a different approach to animal welfare that emphasizes service and prevention, not just sheltering. Our priorities include: increasing the quality of care we provide; reducing the length of stay for animals; improving the experience for customers who want to adopt; providing more resources to reunite people with their pets; and, addressing the challenges that lead people to give up their pets in the first place.
