MASH – Animal Safe Haven
Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Maricopa County in Arizona, is best known for his unique approach to housing and treating inmates in correctional facilities. One of his better known programs that he created is called the A.C.E. Posse – known as the Animal Cruelty Enforcement Posse.
The program is designed to help reduce and eliminate animal cruelty in Maricopa County. Several abused and neglected pets, from cats, dogs, ducks and goats have been rescued and stay in the animal safe heaven which is designed for these animals to become rehabilitated and become available for future adoption. The MASH (Maricopa County Animal Safe Hospice) unit is a no-kill facility that uses women inmates to care for the abused and abounded animals that are rescued by the animal cruelty prevention posse.
