The Maricopa County Animal Care Center is a great resource center for those who are looking for a special pet to share their life and lifestyle. It is very important that you choose your pet carefully and fortunately, their Adoption Counselors are available to help you make the best decision.

If you are looking for a particular breed of dog, they recommend that you visit their Centers or search the website to learn about their matchmaking feature to help you find that certain breed.

There are many things to consider such as:

• Are you ready to make a commitment to a pet for its entire life?
• Is your home and yard large enough to accommodate a pet?
• Are you financially prepared for the costs of caring for a pet?

Once you've decided you are ready to adopt we recommend that your visit the Maricopa County Animal Care Center website to learn the ins and outs of adopting and caring for a pet.
