PHOENIX, AZ – Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) will once again host Care on the Go community events this year to continue providing free services to keep pets in their homes and help them live healthy lives. I'm excited about that.

In January 2024, MCACC held its second annual Care on the Go event, where more than 80 pets received free services such as vaccines, microchips, and licenses.

“The return of Care on the Go has been a huge success,” said Communications Supervisor Kim Powell. “There was a huge demand for this event to be held again, and that was reflected in the large number of participants. Bookings filled up quickly, so even if you couldn't make it to the January event, you'll still be able to attend in March. Please rest assured that we are pleased to be able to hold the event again in 2020.”
