Adopt With Us. Save Lives.

At Maricopa County Animal Care & Control we know a thing or two about making connections and saving lives. Animal homelessness is a community problem that requires a community solution. Join us in helping the animals of Maricopa County.

Ready for a new BFF? Adopt with us! 

All adoptions include spay/neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations. Together, we can save lives.
