Shared from AZpound Pups - New Hope Rescue Only
20 dogs on the portal lost their lives this past 2 week. We know there are several that were killed without a chance....

The heartbreaking part? Some of them had people willing to help. Foster applications were submitted. People stepped up. But the dogs couldn't leave because there was no rescue partner available to pull them.

For those of us on the ground, this wasn't a surprise. When MCACC rolled out the new NHO guidelines, we saw the warning signs immediately. More requirements, less flexibility, less support, and significant consequences for partners who failed to comply.

The impact is already showing.

NHOs saved:
• 1,650 dogs in 2023
• 1,712 dogs in 2024
• 1,716 dogs in 2025

We're nearly halfway through 2026 and aren't even on pace to reach 1,000.

From January 1 through June 8 of this year, NHO partners pulled 743 dogs. But that number deserves a closer look.

Of the 47 rescue partners that pulled dogs this year:

🛑 32 rescues combined pulled just 136 dogs total (1–10 dogs each)

🛑10 rescues pulled 208 dogs total (11–49 dogs each), and 2 of those rescues are no longer partners

🛑Just 5 rescues pulled 399 dogs (50–112 dogs each), including the Humane Society, and one of those high-volume rescues is no longer a partner.

In other words, a small number of rescues are doing most of the lifesaving. When even one of those rescues leaves, the impact is enormous.

The public sees "743 dogs saved" and assumes the system is working. What they don't see is that 21% of those dogs were saved by just three rescues that are no longer NHO partners. They don't see the experienced rescue groups that spent years pulling the hardest dogs quietly disappear from the program.

This is not a community compassion problem. People want to foster. People want to help. Applications are coming in.

The problem is that willing fosters cannot reach dogs that need them when there aren't enough rescue partners able—or willing—to pull.

Sadly, we may soon be forced to approach things very differently. Instead of trying to match dogs with willing fosters, we may be reduced to asking the one or two rescues doing most of the pulling which dogs they are willing and able to take, while knowing many others have no path out.

And that is the hardest reality of all.💔

If there are no rescue partners available, then many of these dogs are simply waiting in a kennel for days or weeks without a break and us knowing that they will be killed - we know no one is coming for them. We continue posting, networking, and hoping for a miracle, but hope is not a plan.

If fewer rescue partners are participating, fewer dogs are leaving alive, and more dogs are dying, then MCACC needs to explain how this policy is helping the animals it was meant to protect. 💔

She doesn't even have a name yet, but she already has a deadline.

This sweet 10-year-old girl arrived at MCACC on 6/4 and was immediately given a deadline because she is diabetic. She must be rescued by 6/7 or MCACC will kill her.

✅Apply to save her: DOGFOSTER.ORG
☎️ 602-834-4911

Despite everything, she has been gentle and easy to handle. Shelter staff noted that she walks on a leash, allows petting and handling, has a soft body, and may have limited vision. She was a little unsure when approached in her kennel but remained tolerant and accepted gentle pets.

Medical notes:
• Diabetic with dangerously high blood sugar
• Cataracts in both eyes and possible vision loss
• Slow and stiff when walking
• Old wound on her left hip that needs treatment
• Very callused elbows from spending a lot of time lying on hard surfaces
• Distended abdomen that needs further evaluation

She needs rescue, medical care, and a safe place to land. She is a senior girl who deserves comfort and kindness—not a death sentence the day she arrived.

⚠️ This girl needs out sooner rather than later. Shelter notes indicate she could be killed before her deadline if her condition dec.lines

Her ID is She is 10 yrs. old. 77.5 lbs

🧸Squeaky:
Squeaky needs a hero—and a whole lot of love. 💔
Right now, Squeaky is in a foster situation where he’s spending almost 24/7 in a kennel, and the lack of freedom and human connection is taking a heavy toll on his sweet spirit. He is beginning to decline mentally, and we are desperate to get him into a home where he can finally stretch his legs, decompress, and remember what it feels like to be part of a family.
Squeaky has so much love left to give, he just needs a chance to show you. If you have room in your heart and your home to give this boy the fresh start he deserves, please reach out to us right away

This isn’t my typical post, but I am too furious and heartbroken to stay silent. She is still alive right now, but she is running out of time.

Taz:

She is past her deadline and will die this morning

A 1-year-old, 32-pound baby is about to lose her life over a situation that could have been prevented. She was in a home where she didn’t get along with the other dog. A fight broke out, a human was bitten trying to separate them, and now she is the one paying the ultimate price.

Dogs fight. It happens. It means the home wasn’t the right fit—it shouldn’t mean a death sentence for a 32-pound nugget who got along with all but one of the pups who had a mutual distaste for one another.

This isn’t on the shelter. The staff love her, and they have been begging volunteers to find a way out. She has been networked heavily. But in a metropolis this size, are you telling me not one single person has a spare room or a corner for a dog smaller than a toddler?

To everyone who has fought for her, shared her, and wracked their brains for a solution: Thank you.

To everyone else: Stop looking away. If this makes you sick to your stomach, do something about it before the clock runs out. She needs a foster or rescue placement IMMEDIATELY.

⚠️ HOW TO SAVE HER RIGHT NOW:
Go to: DogFoster.org
Call the hotline immediately: 602-834-4911
Share this post. Don’t just scroll past.

What i want to say is have the day you deserve. But that’s just emotions talking. So I’ll just say this:
Please. Prove me wrong. Step up and save her life.
