Owners in a 12.4-mile zone near Hereford cannot move livestock or pets out without a state vet check.
Federal officials confirmed New World screwworm in a dog in Cochise County and set up a 20-kilometer infested zone.
The couple survived and all eight dogs were rescued; the Yavapai Humane Society dropped an $1,800 quarantine boarding fee.
The Saturday event is part of a push to place 1,500 sick, injured and abused pets this month.
