Maricopa County broke ground Wednesday on a new Maricopa County Animal Care & Control facility in the West Valley.
Located in Glendale and projected to open in May 2028, the facility has been designed to expand the county’s capacity to care for animals, support staff and volunteers and increase the rapidly growing region’s access to shelter services.
"I'm honored to help break ground on the new Maricopa County Animal Care & Control facility,” said Kate Brophy McGee, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, District 3 stated in an email. “This state-of-the-art campus will expand our capacity to shelter animals humanely, support adoptions, and serve West Valley families. It reflects Maricopa County’s commitment to animal welfare and public health.”
