A flooring company out of Scottsdale, Arizona is running an event from March 16th to April 3rd, 2009 called “Paws In Need” to benefit the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control shelter in Mesa. People are encouraged to visit the shelter, drop off donation items at drop boxes, and work to become part of the animal welfare community.
The shelter relies heavily on donations to care for the thousands of animals dropped off, lost or abandoned. Your help is especially crucial now as the current economic situation in the Valley has caused additional strain. Donations are lagging, as more people struggle to make ends meet. This has also created an increase in animals being given up by families who can no longer afford to care for them. In addition, animals are being left behind when houses are foreclosed on, or abandoned when owners cannot find housing that accepts pets.
All of these animals must be processed through MCACC. The staff and volunteers spend countless hours caring for and attempting to place these animals in loving homes.
