This is a complete copy, taken from the county’s priority portal and refreshed every hour. See the original (opens the county website in a new tab), though the county takes a dog’s page down once they leave the list, so that link stops working when Mowgli gets out. This page will not.

This is Mowgli’s Maricopa County Animal Care and Control record, copied hourly and shown in full. We do not rewrite it, soften it or summarise it. Anything written in our own voice is in a box with our name on it.
