MSCO Mash Unit allows inmates to help abused animals
Sept. 8
The MSCO MASH Unit stands for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office’s Animal Safe Haven. This special unit provides care, feeding, and shelter for “evidence” animals that have suffered in abuse and neglect cases. The MASH unit heals and rehabilitates neglected and abused animals, nurtures them back to health, and adopts them out to loving, forever homes. MASH houses animals seized during MCSO investigations and helps inmates to learn work and life skills, while developing empathy, purpose, and compassion.
Terrell Sheline, Unit Supervisor at the MCSO Animal Safe Haven Unit, and Lulu, a Boxer/Bull Terrier Mix from the MCSO MASH Unit, joined “Arizona Horizon” to speak more about this fur-friendly program.
