generalemail2@mail.maricopa.gov(602) 506-7387We are a large, municipal shelter that serves Maricopa county, including Phoenix, AZ. In the past year, we have worked hard to save the lives of all animals that come through our door unless they are extremely sick or aggressive to the point they are a danger to the public. Much of our success has come through social media and our online networking. We take in around 33,000 animals a year between our 2 shelters. We have a 94% live release rate, however we need to be able to work to get our most at-risk population out of the shelter in a shorter period of time. Presently, we have dogs that stay over 3 months, at which point they start to deteriorate due to the stressful environment and lack of exercise and enrichment. We accept all strays (severely injured go to AZ Humane Society) and owner surrenders (managed admissions of 10/day with no stipulations). We are working hard on all fronts to save lives and we feel that being allowed to network using your data base would do even more to help us save lives.
