Maricopa County Animal Care & Control

Change a homeless dog's life without the commitment. 👀 We have dozens of dogs that need a chance to thrive outside of the shelter environment this summer! By temporarily fostering a pet, you can give them a needed break from their kennels while showing us what they need to thrive.

We provide the supplies. You provide the love! Apply today at Maricopa.gov/FosterPets.

Kindness comes at every age. 💙 This boy is in National Junior Honor Society and decided to give back by collecting donations to support the shelter animals! Thank you so much for the peanut butter, treats, and sandwich bags - we will use them all!

If you'd like to donate and support the pups this summer, visit https://www.maricopa.gov/281/Donate.

Rogue, now Rosie, came into the shelter on October 25, 2025. She only had a few meet-and-greets during that almost 8-month period. She went into foster with our awesome foster Ron earlier this month and was adopted only 6 days later.

As a senior black pittie she was overlooked again and again in the shelter, but was given new life in a foster home! Thank you Ron for helping out our longest longtimer!

✨ Friday Foster Feature ✨

After spending more than 5 months in the shelter system, Armie is ready to find his perfect home! This energetic, intelligent boy is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and searching for the perfect partner to join him for life's adventures. Here's how he's doing in foster:

"Armie is doing great here at the house. We have found lots of things for him to stay occupied, Kong toys with peanut butter and kibble are a favorite. He loves to play; he is so toy driven. He has met older kids in the neighborhood, and he gets along really well with them. They throw the ball or frisbee for him and he is so happy."
