Maricopa County

Shout-out to our incredible Maricopa County Animal Care & Control volunteers who spent yesterday making app-paw-tizing meals and treats for our shelter pups! Even though the 4th of July is now behind us, we expect celebrations to continue through the weekend. Continue keeping an eye on your furry family members and provide a secure and comfortable place for them to hide from the frightening sights and sounds of fireworks.
