48. NEW HOPE AGREEMENT WITH PAW PROMISE ANIMAL RESCUE Approve an agreement between Paw Promise Animal Rescue and Maricopa County, administered by Maricopa County Animal Care and Control to allow Paw Promise Animal Rescue under the New Hope Program to transfer animals that have been deemed eligible for the New Hope program. Maricopa County will provide a rabies vaccination, dog license tag, and new owner transfer fee within the first year of transfer for each dog three months of age or older at no cost to the Contractor. The cost for these services is $55 for each animal transferred. Animal Care and Control estimates 141 New Hope transfers over the term of the agreement for a total of $7,755. The term of this agreement is from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020. The purpose of the New Hope Program is to place eligible animals with authorized participants, including animal welfare organizations, animal shelters, veterinary hospitals, and animal rescue groups willing to care for the eligible animals until a suitable adopter can be found. The New Hope Program was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 25, 1997. The No Cost/New Hope License Program, approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 3, 2000, allows for more eligible animals to be transferred by authorized participants at no cost for the initial rabies vaccination, license, and transfer of license within the first year. It is anticipated that more than 12,000 animals each year are transferred as a result of this program. (C-79-18-079-3-00)
