EDIT: YAY, Ginger just went to foster! She's still available for adoption - email [email protected] if interested!

Sweet girl Ginger came to us with a sad story. She needs your help to turn things around! 💙

Ginger was recently surrendered to PACC after living in her previous home for three years, where she did very well with cats, a puppy, and small children. Unfortunately, Ginger’s family had to move back in with family members due to hard times. Ginger and the family's resident dog did not get along, which they managed for some time by keeping them separate but ultimately resulted in an altercation. As a result, Ginger's family said that she could no longer live in the home. Her mom was devastated and had no other choice but to surrender her to PACC after trying to find her a new home with no luck.

Ginger has been placed on a deadline of 1/8. Due to her history, we ask that any potential doggy roommates for Ginger come to meet her at the shelter, and we would recommend male friends for Ginger as she has traditionally done better with male dogs. Ginger is a very, very sweet dog with people and needs a helping paw to find her home. She can be fostered or adopted through PACC today and is already spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. If you can help her, please come to PACC this weekend. 💙

01/05/2024

We've got a whole lot of excited pups! 👀 We're partnering with The Humane Society of Southern Arizona to host a day of FREE adoptions and extended hours TOMORROW! Kick your new year off with a new best friend! 💙

ALL pets - puppies, kittens, adult cats, and dogs - will be FREE to adopt at PACC and at HSSA! We'll be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and with more than 500 pets in our shelter, we're sure we can find the right pet for you. Come see us! 💙

This , meet sweet senior Anabelle 💙

Anabelle arrived at PACC as an owner surrender in early December after her owner, who had had her since she was a puppy, passed away. Luckily, Anabelle got her Christmas wish, finding a foster home with a kind family on Christmas Eve. In the weeks since, we've learned so much about this gentle, patient soul 💙

Fast facts about Anabelle:
She's housebroken!
Anabelle is cat-friendly and even sleeps in bed with the resident kitty 😻
Has lived with small dogs 🐶🐶
She's a MAJOR cuddler! She wants to be as close as possible to her person.
Loves car rides!
Has done well with children!
She's described as an easygoing and low-maintenance gal 💙

Annabelle's foster says her favorite thing about her is that she is so sweet and mindful of others that she always scoots over to make room in the bed for her foster 😭 This gentle gal deserves to find a home for her golden years. If you're interested in meeting Anabelle and potentially adopting her, please email [email protected] 💙

Remy wants to know: Can he crash at your place for a while? 💙

This partially blind young pup was recently surrendered to PACC at no fault of his own when his owner became very ill and was no longer able to care for him. His owner wrote,

"Remy is a good dog. He loves to play and will bring his ball to you to throw so he can go get it. He will chase his tail to get your attention to make you laugh. He will tell you with a little bark that he needs to go outside. He knows get out of the kitchen, sit, and no. He likes to sleep on the side of the couch with his feet up in the air. He has long ears like a rabbit which give him character. He will listen as you talk to you as if he knows what you are saying.

Whoever adopts Remy will love him as I do."

Remy (A775523, 2 years old) has glaucoma, which can be painful, and is receiving medication. He would be much more comfortable in a home rather than in the stressful shelter. Remy has lived with large and small dogs successfully and loves to play, so he'd be a great fit for a home with dogs! If you can help this sweet pup, please come to PACC or email [email protected] 💙

Another 76 dogs came into PACC yesterday, making the total number of dogs who have come into the shelter since New Year's a whopping 157‼️ That means we're starting today with 479 dogs in shelter - 122% of our capacity.

Yesterday's intakes included this litter of nine puppies, who were owner surrendered and are available to adopt now! We also have small dogs, additional litters of puppies, and hundreds of large dogs, including several purebreds. All dogs and puppies are currently FREE to adopt and come spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and more than ready to be YOUR new best friend. 💙

Think your lost pet may be at PACC? Please be sure to upload to lost.petcolove.org and come to PACC ASAP! Reclaim fees are waived in most cases. Help us get our numbers down and keep our dogs safe! We're open from noon to 7 p.m. today.

01/04/2024

Was your New Year's resolution this year to be more active? What about helping animals in your community? Making new friends? What if we told you you could do all of the above - at the same time? 👀

We're in need of volunteer dog walkers here at PACC! With a whole lotta of dogs, we need a lot of people willing to give these deserving pups breaks from their kennels - and that's where YOU come in! 💙

It may sound cliché, but it is so true: Even a couple of hours a week can change the lives of dogs (and cats!) here in Pima County. 😻🐶

If you'd like to start changing and saving lives today while getting those steps in, please consider signing up to volunteer at https://www.pima.gov/2795/Volunteer-with-PACC. 💙💙

01/04/2024

We're back with another round of cheat sheets! With nearly 500 dogs in the shelter, it can be hard to decide which pup is a fit for your home. We hope this helps you get started!

ALL dogs and puppies are currently FREE to adopt and come spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines! 💙💙💙

01/03/2024

A total of 75 dogs and 11 cats came into PACC yesterday after the New Year's holiday, and we're expecting another busy day today 😿

Meet Toboggan 🛷

Toboggan's story is a sad one, and we're hoping to find him a foster or adoptive home ASAP to help him turn it around. This special boy was trapped by our Community Cats team in late November to be fixed, but our team quickly identified that he had some serious damage to both eyes. Our veterinarians determined that his right eye was not savable, and it was removed when he was neutered. He kept his left eye but has limited vision in that eye.

It's been a scary couple of months for this boy between his eye injuries and suddenly finding himself in a big, scary animal shelter surrounded by people, who he has likely had limited interactions with. Toboggan cannot be safely returned to a life outdoors with his limited vision, so now he finds himself in the shelter waiting for a patient, loving home who can help him understand what it means to live with people.

If you can help give this special boy a chance, please come meet him. He is shy at first but calms once he realizes you're not a threat. He has done well with other cats here at the shelter and would likely prefer a home with a kitty friend or two. More than anything, he needs someone who can be patient, kind, and understanding as he adapts to his new life. 💙

01/03/2024

🆘🆘 We have already taken in 55 dogs since we opened at noon today! 🆘🆘

We need YOUR help to get these stray pups seen and back with their owner! If you or someone you know has lost a pet, please remember to upload to lost.petcolove.org and keep checking back at PACC! Reclaim fees are WAIVED in most instances; we WANT you to have your pet back rather than keep them in the overcrowded shelter!

All animals pictured are on a stray wait. They MAY be available for reservation in the event their owner does not reclaim them. If interested in reserving, please come to PACC.

COOL STORY: Yesterday at 1:33, Liz messaged us on Instagram with a picture of a dog she had found. At 2:13, just 40 minutes later, she messaged again and said disregard - we've reunited her with her owner! 😻

How? Petco Love Lost! By uploading the pup's picture to the app, Liz was quickly matched with the grateful owner and was able to reunite the family within 30 minutes! 🙀

We are starting our day today with 461 dogs in the shelter. Typically, in the week following New Year's, we see the number of dogs in the shelter increase by about 50 because of all the strays spooked by fireworks. The BEST thing you can do to help PACC pets this week is help those strays get home! If you FIND or have LOST a pet, please upload their picture to lost.petcolove.org, look around the neighborhood, and check your local social media! If your pet is at PACC, please remember reclaim fees are waived in most instances and come down ASAP to bring them home 💙💙💙

01/01/2024

Big Boi (A815767) says, "Hello, 2024!" 💙

We are CLOSED to the public today, but emergency services will remain available. Please call 520-724-5900 ext. 4 with any animal emergencies.

Big Boi is one of nearly 11,000 pets that came into PACC as a stray in 2023. PACC data shows that 63% of lost dogs in Pima County are found LESS THAN A MILE from their home?! That's a really big deal! That means that the majority of stray dogs found in Pima County are very, very close to home. We also know that only about a third of dogs that come into PACC as strays are reclaimed by their owner.

If you find a stray dog who appears friendly and healthy today, please keep them in their neighborhood and try to find their owner! Hanging up flyers, walking the dog around the neighborhood, and posting on neighborhood social media groups is MUCH more likely to get the pet home than bringing them here. Plus, upload to lost.petcolove.org to use their facial recognition technology to get them home 💙💙💙

12/31/2023

⭐ Hundreds of cats and dogs will be lost in Pima County tonight. It's not too late to take the necessary steps to keep your pet - and pets in the shelter - safe! ⭐

Keeping your pets safe tonight is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1️⃣ Make sure they are wearing a collar and tag with up-to-date information. Too late to get a tag? Use a Sharpie to write your number on the collar.
2️⃣ Keep them in a quiet, secure room away from the noise. Play music or white noise to drown out the noise and give them a distraction, like a bone or KONG with peanut butter.
3️⃣ LEAVE THEM HOME! We may enjoy fireworks, but they are very scary for our pets. They are safer at home.

Meet Kino! This sweet little fellow could really use a helping paw 🐾

Kino arrived at PACC in October, and he's pretty over his accommodations. Kino is experiencing what we call kennel stress or shelter decline - basically, he's a young, smart dog who is getting bored and frustrated with the shelter environment. The good news? Kino has also gone on lots of day trips with members of the public, who report that he is a loving, easy to walk, a great car passenger, a "great listener," and polite with both other dogs and kids. Our staff and volunteers also love him, calling him "a great little guy" who loves affection, calm walks, and kisses. 😘

Kino is on our Urgent Placement list and in need of a home ASAP due to his stress in the shelter.

Can you help Kino shine? Please come to meet him at PACC today! 💙

12/31/2023

Still looking for someone to smooch at midnight tonight? Our volunteers have a few suggestions 💙😘

We're open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and have more than 450 dogs who would LOVE the chance to come home with you, even if just for a week foster break over the holiday! Plus, if you're ready to make a permanent addition, all dogs and puppies are currently FREE to adopt 💙 Start your New Year off right - save a life! 💙

Gryphons are creatures that only exist in the imagination, but this Gryphon can be yours - and he's better than any mythological creature! Although he does not have the wings, talons or head of an eagle, he does have the body and heart of a baby lion. 💙🦁

Gryphon is an incredibly sweet, loving, friendly, social boy who went into foster care earlier this month to recover from a kitty cold. This little guy loves EVERYONE he meets! Gryphon is still receiving medical treatment from PACC, but he is available for pre-adoption now and PACC will provide medical care. Once he is all better, you can finalize the adoption knowing you have the best kitten ever. 💙 No special care is required, other than providing a lap for him to snuggle on!

Gryphon is currently in foster care and would be happy to meet any interested parties. Please email [email protected] if interested in this lil lovebug! 🐞

12/30/2023

Remember Luke, who was deadlined in November? He just came back from a WONDERFUL foster stay and is all ready to find his family!

Luke (A775868, 5 years old) spent about six weeks in a foster home with a group of college students, where he did VERY well. His foster mom transferred to a school in Missouri and was not able to take him along, and she was very sad to have to bring him back to PACC, even leaving his favorite stuffed pillow with him. She said, "Luke will always make you feel loved, wanted and special.” 💙

The good news is that we learned so much about Luke and what a GREAT boy he is in a home! Our favorite thing? We found out that he INSISTS on sleeping under the covers with his person, pawing at the blankets until you let him in 😭😭 He's also 100% potty trained, well behaved when left alone at home, crate-trained... He's the complete package! 💙💙💙

We love Luke, and he's had a sad story. He's now spent more than a year in the shelter and is really, really ready to find a home for good. Can you help Luke start 2024 off on the right paw? He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and FREE to adopt. Please come to meet him today 💙

12/30/2023

When your foster mom interrupts snuggle time... 🤣🤣

Looking for a big dog who gets along with small dogs? A dog with the most expressive face, best cuddles, and goofiest personality? Meet Cocoa (A796713, 5 years old)! 💙

Cocoa has been hanging out in foster for quite a while now, where he has absolutely THRIVED! We now know SO much about this wonderful boy, which is one of the greatest gifts a foster can give 💙

🐶 Cocoa is good with dogs of all sizes 💙
🧻 Cocoa is totally housebroken and crate trained!
👎 His only reported naughty behavior is eating plastic hangers, so he'll be very helpful in reminding you to clean up! 🤣
🛋 Cocoa is described as a "horrible bed hog" 🤣
💙 He has two special toys that bring him comfort - "Mr. Bill" and "Dino the dinosaur" 😭

Cocoa's foster absolutely adores him but needs to find a new home for him soon due to housing changes. If you think you're the home for Cocoa (and 'tis the season!), please email [email protected] 💙

12/29/2023

We're often asked, why do we have so many sick kitties?

There are a few different reasons for this, but one of the BIGGEST reasons is that healthy, friendly cats get adopted incredibly quickly at our shelter. It is rare that they stay here for more than a few days. But not everyone is willing to take in a kitty who needs a little more TLC, so they tend to wait a little longer 💙

If you have the heart for a special kitty, we have a few who could really use a helping paw! (Sheev says, "Pick me!") If you can foster any of these beautiful, sweet babies, please come to PACC or email [email protected] with questions 💙

12/28/2023

💙 Pictured: Just a few of the 539 reasons you should come to PACC today 💙

Here's what's happening at PACC:
⭐ All dogs and puppies are currently free to adopt!
⭐ TODAY is the first day of pick ups for our New Year's foster event! Come down any time today to find a new BFF for the holiday, give a pup a short break from the shelter, and help open up kennels for the upcoming New Year's holiday, when we'll see hundreds of pets flood into the shelter!
⭐ Free customized pet tags in our Central Pet store in the lobby! Come get your tag TODAY to make sure your pet is prepared in case they get spooked on New Year's!

We're open from noon to 7 p.m. today; interested adopters or fosters must be here and checked in by 6:15 p.m. Come help save a life and find your new best friend all at the same time 💙

12/28/2023

Check out these awesome pics of Roan (A824349, 5 years old) out on a day trip! This sweet boy conquered Mount Lemmon, met new friends, browsed for some reading material at Bookmans Entertainment Exchange, and even got a good nap or two in - all in one afternoon!

Day trips and overnight pawjama parties for our pups are SO important! They help the pup get a break, help us learn more about what great dogs they are (with photographic evidence), and they help YOU have a lovely afternoon with a friend! It's a win/win/win! 💙💙💙

💙 If you can't adopt or foster right now, this is a great way to help pups in the shelter! We offer day trips any time we're open (noon to 6:15 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on weekends). Simply come to PACC's foster office and we'll help you from there - no-preregistration necessary! PLUS - we're offering a GREAT opportunity this weekend for a pawjama party over the New Year's!

And P.S. - Roan is AVAILABLE, the best boy ever, and would love to meet you today! 💙

⭐ Ring in the New Year with a PACC pup! ⭐

We're offering a short-term foster opportunity over the New Year's holiday! The fireworks that come along with New Year's come with major impacts for our shelter dogs, including the overwhelming noise and chaos of the shelter during the fireworks with so many barking dogs and loud noises AND the number of dogs that will flood into the shelter as strays in the days following the festivities.

However, YOU can help a pup have a calmer holiday AND help the pups who will fill that kennel in the days following the holiday! We're looking for folks who can care for a shelter dog for a short time period. If you're in town and interested in sharing your holiday with a buddy, we need you!

No pre-registration is required; just show up any time we're open and we'll help you find a pup! Returns will be scheduled beginning on Jan. 8 💙🎉

12/26/2023

Can you lend one of these pups a helping paw? 🐾

With New Year's just days away, we have quite a few pups who are looking for foster OR pre-adoptive homes while they are being treated for a variety of medical issues, including everything from being hit by a car to valley fever! Did you know PACC provides ALL veterinary care for pets that are in foster or in pre-adopt? 🙀

It is highly likely that we will see increased intake of pets needing medical attention after the holiday, as we typically see several dogs hit by car in the chaos following the holidays. We need to get our clinic kennels cleared out and get these wonderful, deserving pups into some loving foster homes! If you can help any of these pups, please email [email protected] with questions or come to PACC today!

(BTW: Don't know what pre-adopt means? It just means you go ahead and adopt and take the pup home, but we'll still take care of all medical until their challenge is resolved.) 💙💙💙

12/26/2023

🧐Do you recognize me? All these pups came into the shelter as strays and spent the night dreaming of being snuggled up in a home. Is it yours? We currently have 4️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ dogs in the shelter with 1️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ strays coming in just this past week. We need our community's help to reduce our census and get more dogs home!

What YOU can do to get us out of critical capacity!
❄ Look for the homes of healthy, friendly strays to get them reunited with their families!
❄ Foster ANY dog! Most dogs come to us as strays and learning how they are in a home helps us place them quickly. Fostering can be as short as an overnight stay!
❄ Register your pets on lost.petcolove.org New Year's Eve is one of our highest intake days. Be proactive to help get your pet home if they go missing!
❄ Adopt any dog! Dog adoptions are free. (A $20 license fee does apply to dogs 4 months or older.)
❄ Share PACC's social media posts! This can help get stray pets home, help our pets find adopters, and let people know how they can help our PACC pets.

We have a dog for everyone, so come on down and meet with a counselor today. If you're on the fence about adoption or fostering, we can even help match you with a dog that fits all your home needs! We are open 12a-7p today and would love to see you!

12/26/2023

With Christmas now behind us, it's time to start thinking about New Year's. that the week following New Year's is one of the busiest weeks of the year for animal shelters? Last year, we took in 310 pets in that week alone.

Make sure your pets don't become part of that statistic this year! Keep your pets safe, secure, and comfortable on New Year's - which means keeping them as far from fireworks festivities as possible.

In the event your pet does get lost, the FIRST line of defense and the best thing you can do to get your pet back home is to make sure your pet is wearing a collar and tag with up-to-date information? PLUS, great news: You can get a FREE customized pet tag at our on-campus Central Pet store any time we're open!

12/25/2023

Merry Christmas from all of us here at PACC! We are CLOSED today, but don't worry, all of our pets will still receive love, cuddles, and some holiday treats! 💙🎄😻

This Christmas Eve, please take a moment to read about our girl Precious, who has now lived at PACC for 357 days - very nearly a year 💙

Precious is a wonderful, FUN, SWEET, compact little gal who does the best zoomies, has the happiest smile, and possesses the kind of zest for life that we all wish we had a little more of! This silly girl is chock full of personality; it is truly impossible not to love her after spending even just a few minutes with her.

Precious is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and FREE to adopt. She is more than ready to find her home, and we're desperately hoping that she can find it before hitting that 365-day milestone on New Year's Day. We're open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today; come see us and give this girl a last-minute shot at fulfilling her Christmas wish 💙💙💙

⭐ Sweet boy Biscuit is wishing on a star that he'll spend his first Christmas in a home ⭐

We're featuring our , 12 of our longest-stay pets who are all wishing for the same thing this holiday: A home. 🎄💙

Biscuit (A821368) is just a puppy at 11 months old! He's your typical wiggly, happy, goofy puppy, and to make him extra special, he's also got a funny little half tail! He's been overlooked since he arrived here in September, and we'd really love to see him find his home so he can be spoiled and learn all about the good life! He's done well with other dogs in our playgroups here at the shelter and would likely do well with a doggy friend or two in the home.

Biscuit is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and FREE to adopt. If you're ready to give this special pup the home he's wishing for, come meet him today! 💙

Pacheco (A803238, 2 years old) hits the milestone of 190 days at the shelter TODAY, and we're hoping that this weekend is when he'll finally get that Christmas miracle so he doesn't have to hit 200 🎄💙

We can't put enough emphasis on this next sentence: Pacheco is the sweetest, most wonderful, easygoing, good-natured dog. Need a pup to put an ugly Christmas sweater on? He's your boy. Need a dog you can take on a news interview and trust he won't do anything naughty? That's Pacheco. Need a buddy to hang out in the office and keep you company for the afternoon without destroying anything or causing any trouble? Pacheco's a sure bet. This boy is SWEET, sweet, sweet, full of personality and goofball antics, and so well-behaved. 💙

Pacheco previously lived with another dog and would like to meet any new potential roommates to make sure they ~vibe.~ If you'd like to meet this truly endearing boy, please come to PACC and help make his Christmas wish come true ❄️

#PACCGoodnightWalkThru 9/2/22. TGIF! Let’s say goodnight to some pups in Phase 2!

#PACCGoodnightWalkThru 9/1/22. We are saying goodnight to the cats tonite!

#PACCGoodnightWalkThru 8/29/22. We are saying goodnight in Pod 2 tonite!

#PACCGoodnightWalkThru 8/25/22. I know it’s not time for good nights, but last night’s walk thru was a disaster because of the storm and bad wifi. So I am doing a re-do! Let’s visit the dogs and puppies in the iso kennels that are not in public view. If any of these super sweet animals interest you, come on in and meet them. We have been slammed with incoming dogs in Admissions today so we need to make room! Come in and sign up to meet with an Adoption Counselor before 6:15pm, and you could go home with a new furry friend!!!

#PACCGoodnightWalkThru 8/23/22. We are saying goodnight a little early today since we worked so late last night. Admissions was BUSY last night and we had trouble making space for the new animals that came in. Luckily we have gotten out 38 animals so far today and only 33 new ones have come in. Plus, we did 27 happy adoptions today!!!

#PACCGoodnightWalkThru 8/22/22. Did you know that since Sat we have taken in 120 new animals? Luckily we got 125 animals out during that same time. But the crazy thing is that most of the animals that are leaving are the cute young puppies and kittens that just got here! The adult animals that have already been here for a long time are being overlooked, and their lengths of stay are getting longer and longer. So many of them are losing hope that they will ever find a home. But we know there is a family out there for every one of them!!! Please share our posts so we can find the perfect family for every shelter pet!

BEST NEWS EVER! Long stay Charley was adopted today after spending over a year in the shelter! Not as great news, the amount of dogs in the shelter still keeps creeping up. We need your help to get dogs out! If you see a dog you're interested in the video, please come to meet them this week. You can email us at [email protected] with any questions and if you're interested in fostering, please make an appointment to meet or be matched with a dog here: www.tinyurl.com/meetafoster See all our available pets here: https://webcms.pima.gov/community/animal_care/pet_adoptions/
