Adoptions include spay/neuter services, vaccinations and County dog tags.
They're hoping to clear as many kennels as possible to make room for the inevitable influx of animals who will end up in the shelter around the 4th of July.
In addition, MCACC is offering a $5 microchip event to help get pets proper identification in the event they go missing. The event will take place from 8 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 10 at their Phoenix location. It is first come, first served. Free ID tags will be available there from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
