There is no better time than right now to be a cat or dog in Maricopa County. And it’s because 10 years ago, people and organizations devoted to animals joined forces to create Fix.Adopt.Save., an initiative to tackle pet overpopulation in our community. Before 2012, over 35,000 stray and surrendered dogs and cats were euthanized in Maricopa County shelters every year. Today, that number is down more than 88%. Fix.Adopt.Save. prevents unwanted litters and reduces pet euthanasia through low- and no-cost spay/neuter surgeries, adoption, vaccine and wellness services and community education. Thank you to the Alliance for Companion Animals and its member organizations for a decade of collaboration to change the plight of Maricopa County’s pets.
