At Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC), we are committed to serving the people and pets of our community by fostering a safe environment and reducing the homeless pet population. Our goal is simple: we want to help every animal find a loving, forever home.
As one of the nation’s largest open-admission shelters, we understand that animal homelessness is a community challenge that requires a collective, positive solution. We believe in strengthening the human-animal bond and working together with our neighbors to ensure that every dog and cat receives the care they deserve while waiting for their new family.
Our organization operates through three dedicated locations, including our East and West shelters and the Everyday Adoption Center conveniently located inside PetSmart. Our talented team of professionals and volunteers works tirelessly to provide medical care, including spay/neuter services, vaccinations, and microchipping, to ensure every pet is ready for their next chapter. We also coordinate with community partners to provide additional resources, ensuring we are always doing our best for the animals in our care.
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to make that process as easy and affordable as possible. Whether you choose to visit our shelters or meet a pet at one of our many adoption events, our team is dedicated to helping you find your perfect match. When you adopt, you aren't just saving a life; you are gaining a loyal companion and becoming a vital part of our mission.
