The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County

HELP! Our sweet and adorable Jerry is sick and the doctors don't really know what is wrong. Jerry tested positive for Giardia. We started treatment, but he stopped eating over a week ago (5/20). He's been to 2 ER's, had 2 ultrasounds, 2 Parvo tests, Leptospirosis test, Addison's test, Bloodwork 5 times, subQ and IV fluids. He's anemic and has an infection. In and out of 6 vets, we still don't have a diagnosis of the underlying systemic infection/illness. Jerry is out of the hospital today. He started eating a bit, but for two days we weren't sure he would recover. We managed to find a combo of meds that he finally responded to, but he could relapse. Jerry's medical bills are now costing us over $10,000. If you have been following us, 2 years ago, the foundation that had provided our principal funding decided to move onto other types of causes saying that rescue operations were too expensive. Since then we have been operating on a month to month basis through generous donations from many of you and the dog loving community. Having to face large, unexpected medical expenses can cause us to close our doors forever. Please help us pay for Jerry's medical expenses. Your donation will help us to continue rescuing these sweet dogs. Thank you.

Meet Bruce ✨ eight months old, 14 lb. Chihuahua mix puppy. Bruce is an extremely friendly, active, social puppy who loves to play! Bruce came to us from another rescue group where he was doing very well in a foster home with another dog. Bruce will do best with another dog to play with, or an active family where he gets lots of attention and activity. He loves dogs and people alike. Apply to meet Bruce at adoptocpets.org/adopt 🐾 #adoptdontshop #adopt #adoptabledog #blackdog

Check out this video about the Pet Adoption Center created by some talented local students from El Toro High School! 🎬 Our founder, April Josephson explains some of the challenges facing rescue organizations today and the work the PAC does to care for and socialize a dog so that they can find a furever home. In order to continue rescuing these innocent animals and giving them a chance for a wonderful life, WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We've launched a GoFundMe to help us keep the doors open! We are attempting to raise as much money as possible by May 31st to ensure we can renew our lease!
