“E-List” means “Euthanasia-List”; Euthanasia is when dogs are put down.
We work with one of the LARGEST county shelters in the USA. The shelter takes in between 30- and 45-thousand dogs every year. Space is a huge problem. Overbreeding and overpopulation can mean more euthanasia. Every year, 1.5 million cats and dogs are euthanized. 6 million enter shelters every year. Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) is one of the top 3 shelters in the country for animal intake per year. MCACC is unfortunately limited on space, and some dogs just don’t make it out alive. We work tirelessly to save dogs’ lives before they are put down.

Hi, I'm Stuart🐾 (I am dog friendly but SLOW introduction to other dog in home needed). I am set to be euthanized June 27th. Why am I E-listed? STRESS!... It's sad, I am struggling so bad I am licking the walls and jumping in my kennel... It is inhumane to keep me here in this condition! And now the shelter wants to put me to sleep! Will you help save my life?
I’m a 3-year-old, neutered, white and black American Pit Bull Terrier (64)! I am super friendly and love being with people! I really like having my ears and head petted and will lean in to get more. Even though I get wiggly and excited when approached to go out, I will “sit” to have my leash placed. When I get a chance to go to the play yard, I like splashing in the kiddie pool and playing with toys that are thrown for me. I come when called, “sit” for treats, and take them nicely. I haven’t quite mastered walking on a leash without pulling somewhat and can get a little jumpy when excited for attention but take correction well. I was found wandering in a neighborhood and the finder had me for about a week. There was a squabble with finder's dog and I and he said I bit him BUT I have shown no signs of aggression in the shelter at all. The finder never reported the bite either he just took me to the shelter.
It is recommended that I have an adopter that understands a stressed dog like me, that I meet the entire family before going home, that I work on my leash skills, and that children in the home be 12+. I will need a predictable routine, a lot of time to decompress and relax, and time for exercise and play. I’m a good dog that deserves to live! Can you save my life? Please come and meet me before it is too late, and they put me down!
Love, Stuart❤

Hi, I'm Jason🐾 (Known to be social with small dogs). I am set to be euthanized June 26th, 8 am. Why am I E-listed? I’m REALLY STRESSED due to long periods of confinement and limited opportunities for out-of-kennel time. It is no wonder that I am overly excited and grabbing at the kennel fencing and the divider when staff is closing me in!! I just want OUT!! Can you blame me? It is inhumane to keep me here in this condition! And now the shelter wants to put me to sleep! Will you help save my life?
I’m a handsome 5-year-old, neutered, white and brown American Pit Bull Terrier (80 lbs.). I was homeless when someone found me and brought me to the shelter. The finder said I was friendly with people, did well with small dogs, and walked well on a leash. Sadly, I've been here since March 8th. That is a LONG time for a big dog to live in a small concrete box (kennel), surrounded by chaos! Volunteers say I love to be petted and enjoy splashing in a kiddie pool and rolling in the grass. I take treats gently. I am desperate to be out and with people and can get overly excited and jumpy. I do take correction! I have been easy to leash and return to my kennel. Once I’ve had a chance to get some energy out and away from the shelter, I walk well on-leash. I haven’t had a dog-to-dog assessment with dogs my size, so if you have dog(s) in your home, you will need to give me time to de-stress and then do SLOW introductions. It is recommended that I have an adopter that understands a stressed dog like me, that I meet the entire family before going home, that children be 12+, and that I have training to “fine tune” my leash skills. I will need a predictable routine, a lot of time to decompress and relax, and time for exercise and play. I’m a GOOD dog in a not good situation. I deserve to live! Can you save my life? Please come and meet me before it is too late, and they put me down!
Love, Jason❤
