HALO Partners with MCACC to Save More Lives

Spring 2011 brings new and exciting times for the animals in Maricopa County shelters.

Those of you who visit Maricopa County Animal Care and Control's (MCACC) west side shelter will notice some changes in the "I Building".  MCACC has a large shelter located at the intersection of 27^th avenue and Durango in Phoenix, AZ. The main building houses all their administrative offices, their clinic as well as many kennels for the dogs and cats in their care.  Outside of this building on their campus they have dog kennel buildings that have between 20 and 40 kennels in each of the nine buildings, labeled A thru I.  In a first-of-its kind collaboration, MCACC has partnered with us, HALO Animal Rescue, to help increase their live release rate of the 50,000+ animals arriving at their shelters each year.  The goal of this collaboration is to save the lives of an additional 1,300 dogs each year that arrive to the shelter needing a little extra medical care and/or time needed to become adoptable.  We are hopeful that through this collaboration we will be able to greatly increase the lifesaving efforts of both agencies while keeping costs down as much as possible; something HALO Animal Rescue specializes in!

We haven't forgotten about the cats! In March 2011, we began using 20 of MCACC's cat kennels to provide care to cats that arrive in need of a little extra medical attention and/or time needed to become adoptable; and so far, very good!  HALO Animal Rescue expects to save an additional 580 cats in these kennels each year. 

Next time you're at the shelter, stop by and say hello! We're honored to partner with MCACC.  Together we are stronger than the work we can do individually. 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
