You can't change an animal's past, but you can change their future. With your help, we can provide a new, loving and compassionate environment to support, care for, and rehabilitate these neglected and abused animals. The new MCSO Animal Safe Haven (MASH) will be funded through a unique public-private partnership, including donations from caring individuals like you!
Thanks to initial grants from PetSmart Charities, Phoenix Suns Charities, and multiple other generous donations, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office began the process of planning a new shelter for the animals seized during our investigations. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors then came forward with a facility that we can use to provide a new loving and compassionate environment to support our efforts to care for and rehabilitate these neglected and abused animals. This facility will be renovated using the donated funds received to add inmate classrooms and locker rooms.
MASH has been in existence since 2000, but our current facility has been obsolete since even before that time. When Sheriff Paul Penzone took office in 2017 he conceived a new facility utilizing the latest research on animal care and the best ways to foster the human-animal bond.
The new MASH will be used for the housing, care, and rehabilitation of 100 dogs and 200 cats. There will be space for on-site veterinary care, and an outdoor dog run to provide exercise opportunities.
Our MASH unit expands on our care for mistreated animals with programs dedicated to our inmate populations: incarcerated mothers, veterans recovering from PTSD, juveniles, and those with substance abuse issues. The new MASH will have classrooms for inmates to learn about animal care and compassion, and obtain valuable work-life skills.
