Maricopa County Animal Care and Control is waiving adoption fees for all of its dogs, including puppies, through Sunday.

The county extended its “Empty the Shelters” promotion from last week through a collaboration with the BISSELL Pet Foundation.

Adopted animals will also be vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Dogs are up for adoption from the west shelter, Heidi’s Village in Phoenix or the east shelter in Mesa.
