Looking to bring home a forever furry friend?

Head to Maricopa County Animal Care and Control and take advantage of October adoption specials.

MCACC has reduced some adoption fees in hopes of finding homes for more than 1,000 dogs in need.

With an increasing amount of pups entering their facility near 27th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, the number of dogs waiting to be adopted has grown to nearly 700. The high volume means up to three dogs have been forced to live in a single kennel, as MCACC searches for suitable homes.

In honor of Columbus Day on Monday, October 9, MCACC is offering free adoptions for adult dogs 7 months or older. Then, throughout the rest of the month, any black, white, or brown adult dog can be adopted for just $17!

There are two locations you can visit to find the perfect addition to your family:

West Valley Animal Care Center:
2500 S. 27th Avenue
Phoenix AZ 85009

East Valley Animal Care Center:
2630 W. Rio Salado Parkway
Mesa, AZ 85201
