FEATURE EVENTS

Unity Luncheon

On Tuesday September 26th, Supervisor Gallardo hosted a Unity Luncheon for Hispanic Heritage Month. There were multiple speakers in attendance, including County Manager Jen Pokorski and Judge Medina who is a strong leader and advocate for underrepresented communities. Lunch was brought to our County employees with the support of Macayo's Mexican Restaurant. We thank Macayo's for their partnership with this event because it displays the importance of bringing advocacy to everyone. Events like this not only bring awareness but they also bring people together. People from many different departments get to meet and express common interests as well as expand their network. It was a fantastic event with many laughs from our showcase speaker Judge Medina. We appreciate everyone who came out!

Domestic Violence Awareness Events

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In support of the cause and all the survivors in Maricopa County, Supervisor Gallardo and his team organized 3 events throughout different county departments. The first and second events took place in the MCDOT building and the West Animal Care & Control shelter. The district 5 office was present to give free coffee and donuts to county employees. There were also many DV resources given out in support of a county employee who may need to seek help. The third event, our annual Luncheon, took place in the County Administration building. Free lunch was provided along with services from Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence, and Southwest Indigenous Women’s Coalition. We were also able to hear from survivors who shared their stories to emphasize the importance of seeking help when you need it. We appreciate everyone who participated in our events!

District Highlights

On behalf of the District 5 office, we would like to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. Have fun and be safe!

Meet Porkyboy!

"About Me" from ACC website

You’ll love me because I’m gentle when you give me treats and am eager to learn new tricks and how to walk on a leash. I can be a little unsure of new surroundings and people at first and would be your best friend if you could patiently help me come out of my shell. My perfect home is with older kids who can help me build my confidence and play with me to my heart’s content. My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons!

Porkyboy is a 3 year old male, located in the East Kennel. He weighs 57 pounds and his animal ID is A4893758. If you are interested in looking at all adoptable dogs click the button below.

Adoption fees are waved for dogs 6 months and older from now through October 15th
