“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.

THE FORGOTTON...yet...STILL SUFFERING💔 All 4 ARE STRUGGLING IN THEIR KENNEL AND might have to be euthanized if they cannot find a loving home soon. They have reached a breaking point and cannot cope mentally as they been locked up in a concrete kennel for up to 6 months! These are the dogs that The Dog Savers saved just minutes before the shelter was going to kill them! Yet they still are declining in their small kennel in boarding. It is INHUMANE and TORTURE for these dogs to be living like this day after day! Currently these 4 dogs have been displaying VERY sad behavior, I.e., licking the walls, walking in circles in their kennel, jumping out of stress, crying/whining out loud. They are Loving adoptable dogs, but they have been left behind because everyone focuses on the dogs in the shelter about ready to die in the shelter. These dogs are struggling just as bad! We need Fosters/Adopters ASAP so they don't completely lose their minds....it is NOT natural for a dog to be locked up this long....Can you please open up your home today to stop their suffering? All are fixed, fully vaccinated and chipped! Please fill out this form: www.thedogsavers.org/apply-to-adopt/. Call 480 331 4188 MIKA: (Not great with other dogs) I’m a 2-year-old, spayed, tricolor Appenzeller Sennerhund (mountain dog) mix (56 lbs.) I would be great with active people! My previous owners said I was “really sweet” with people, good with the 12-year-old in the home, but should not be with other dogs. I am potty trained. At the shelter, I have been very attentive, affectionate, I leaning in for pets and love belly rubs. I walk well on-leash, know “sit”, “down” and “stay”, and take treats gently. Since I'm energetic and jumpy at times, I may best for a home with older children. I must be in a home with no dogs or small animals. ❤ SCARLETT: (Good with dogs!)

Look at the photo of me in comments where the children dressed me up! ❤ SOLARA: (Dog friendly but may be selective) I’m a 2-year-old, spayed, black/white, Cattle Dog/ Black Lab / Pit Bull Terrier Mix (55 lbs.). I'm a Love Bug!! (see my videos) My Prior in the home they stated: I’m very affectionate, give “kisses”, take treats gently, come when called, and love sitting on a lap and getting belly rubs.

BUT please introduce us slowly to ensure optimal long term success❤ TAFFY ( Dog friendly) I am a 3 year old American Bulldog/ Mini pittie!. I am actually pretty calm once I get out of my kennel.

My name is ETHIKA #A4769194 (Dog friendly) I’m a 4-yr.-old, neutered, 53 lb., white/black, English Pointer/ Dane/ Bull terrier mix. I have been at the shelter for 4 months and can no longer handle living like this!! I am stressed and pant and pace in my kennel and bound off the walls. A volunteer that fostered me said that I cuddle and give “kisses”, do great around dogs (preferably no cats), use a doggy door, and was non-destructive in the home; but you shouldn’t leave your trash out. I take treats gently, know “sit” and “shake”, and I don’t mind being brushed. I really don't want to die…will you save my life?
PLEASE remember!! I have been living in a high-stress environment and will need time to de-stress and recover!! If there is a dog in your home, you will need to keep us separated so we have time to decompress. A slow introduction to your dog is recommended!

DAMON: #A4824462 (Dog friendly) I’m a 2-yr.-old, neutered, 47 lb., brindle, American Pit Bull Terrier. I am struggling BAD! I am so frustrated from being kenneled that I am grabbing at leashes, and it is hard to distract me. I have a “sweet, wiggly personality”, “sit” for treats and take them gently when not stressed, love pets, and I’m non-reactive to other dogs. When a volunteer took me for a day foster, I jumped in the car easily, was happy and wiggly, and did well in her home. I enjoyed playing fetch and was very good around people I met on a walk. She said I am a totally different dog out of the shelter! I really don't want to die…will you save my life?
LACEY: #A4803930 (Dog friendly) I’m a 7-yr.-old, spayed, 57 lb., chocolate/white, American Bull Terrier. Sadly, I have been at the shelter since October 2022, and no one has come for me. I am so desperate to get out of this kennel that I pace at the gate and jump and nip at the leash…can you blame me? I am a super sweet, friendly girl that loves attention, gives “kisses”, and wags my tail when people talk to me!! I “sit” for treats, take them gently, walk great on a leash, and I’m non-reactive around other dogs. Please, save my life and give me a home. I don't want to die!
