Forget what you think you know about brilliant young entrepreneurs. Most people who start successful companies are in middle age or beyond.

Our comment to Pima Animal Care on Facebook.
Today 1000 PACC owned pets are already in Foster homes.
Please fund the foster programs appropriately and provide support
including (nutrition)
to the generous and devoted existing & new PACC Foster Volunteers.
Family budgets should not be harmed for housing & caring for PACC pets.
Kitten season is early and more hands-on volunteers will be needed.
Thank you.

Hopefully the generous donated funds $11,000 dollars will be used for Spay & Neuter & Vaccine services?
Please let donors know the end results to better the pet community that supported this excellent effort. ❤️
Also rather than save a presentation of the Espanol Campaign only for an elite few that can afford to attend the Best Friends Conference in Palm Springs California February 2025 event.
PACC & Pima County & Friends of PACC perhaps think far beyond and reach out to many shelters and rescues nationally by recording a presentation available to ALL as a free anytime access webinar and online. Spanish speaking communication is vidal as this outreach is long overdue.
Everyone & Everypet matters.

Silverbell to PACC, the closest bus stop 🚎 is a mile or more way from the Pima Animal Care Center campus.
I’ve never understood why? Silverbell is unsafe for pedestrians and bike travel. Construction, high traffic speeds, the road way is simply unstable and treacherous.
Where to start? To see the bus service extended to PACC?
For adoptions, volunteers, foster volunteers, PACC staff to have a safe way to travel to and from. SteveK interim director, s cause your willing to aid with? Rodeo - will volunteer hours to see this common sense project happen soon.
Thank you. 🚎🚎🚎💙
Update: anyone can call and request a bus stop to be placed near 4000 North Silverbell aka PACC campus.
Requests will be considered if enough interest and rider usability warrants the cost.
Decades of no service, sadly has set a situation of assuming transportation services are not available. Yet they can be with enough voices and potential riders speaking up.
Easy call: 520 791 4100, hold for a staff member and ask to make a formal bus stop request to:
4000 North Silverbell.
Please pm or comment if you made a request, share the post as the decision makers do listen if they know the need.

City of Tucson and Pima County funding working together.

Great!
Long time overdue here and other communities with demographics that plainly communicate the need for communication and understanding 🧡
PACC staff presented at *Best Friends Conference- in Florida those presentations are recorded. We and other involved Pima County supporters and as public funds are used to finance these trips would like access to viewing the information and talents of PACC staff leaning, representing, & sharing our communities
generous efforts.
Thank you.

PACC attended two conferences a year for many years. Accessible feed back, and presentation recordings would be terrific for staff, Supervisors, and public interest. Thank you. 🌵

Great!
Rodeo Kittens & Pups Fostered in Tucson Arizona
has posted many times about the importance of collaboration in pet welfare for fly in & outs.
Our very own Tatum pup was rescued from Long Beach, 🛫California 14 years ago to Idaho and we adopted him 1 day after landing. 🛬
TaterTot was media featured for Idaho Gives Day raising $32,000 for the shelter.
Tot was the first of 70 dogs to find his forever home 💙
We hope Pima County will utilize this wise opportunity in the future. While this effort seems a PR move, GOOD is 70 animals are saved under the dire / fire 🔥 overload of California animals needing shelter - homes.

PACC please define your term “rescue placement”
of the 12:
Adoption or Fostered? Transferred to Rescue Partner?
For public clarity.

We support & follow
My Dog Is My CoPilot, Inc.
for the amazing fly rescue work all year round - year after year. ✈️ Decade++! 💙

Pima County, Arizona
Riverside County, California
2.6 million collaborative between two former Directors at Pima Animal Care Center.
The timeline of preparation of the Hassen / Outcome For Pets proposal to Riverside County Supervisors and while employed at PACC Dangler’s input to craft her new gig as a contracted “shelter director for Riverside County is simple to see the very evident plan. Secretive in plain sight to several PACC staff members, Friends of PACC and everyone on Monica Dangler’s thank you post, image.
Part of the plan to further launch the Riverside gig was to meet up at Best Friends 2024 Florida conference: PACC staff Executive Director of Friends of PACC, Hassen & Dangler presented and networked for Outcomes For Pets using
Pima Animal Care Center as a springboard, & Pima County paying for the travel +++
My prediction at a PACC AC meeting of Dangler filling the Riverside role she designed last summer ✔️
PACC staff leaving ✔️
Will Friends be the next? ✔️
PACC is at a record critical crossroads that have exploited County Supervisors and Administrators in both states. It is time the county leaders talk together to protect the pets and people -
$$ funds. Constituents that VOTED & appointed these individuals need to step up to the truth of being taken advantage of by and team.
Call 📞 out and end the corruption. 💰💰

Update on the San Diego, California and Tucson, Arizona small animal crimes of two experienced shelters and the leaderships that overlooked their responsibilities and promises to protect animals.

The Humane Society of Southern Arizona has chosen to pay a settlement to its former CEO Steve Farley after firing him following a News 4 Tucson Investigation into a transfer

Glad to hear these kitties are available now for foster care.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) — The Pima Animal Care Center is urgently seeking foster homes for dozens of cats recently rescued from a second large-scale impoundment in as many months.

Peace Of Mind Rescue - Pacific Grove, California:
Speeds to a Shelter in need, located in Downey, California to pull ready to adopt/foster pups to help ease the burden and open up kennel space for the wildfire situations. I so love this organization. The Downy and Peace of Mind Rescue could use donations - funds will be used directly to the needs, sidemark wildfires.

Fostering at Pima Animal Care Center - Fast forward to 2025.
Will this be the year, Pima Animal Care Center rights the wrongs of the past Directors?
Today 1000 PACC owned pets are cared for in Foster Volunteer’s homes. 1000.
9000 PACC owned pets per year are primary fed out of pockets by these generous foster caregivers. two past directors now “consulting” together - for their own career reasons never advocated for the need of Pima County funding this amazing life saving program.
We have hopes after a though data investigation & foster caregivers’s valuable input all of the Foster Programs will be fully funded.
These programs saves lives, lightens the shelter system and helps to place pets to adoption.
Stop the nutrition and supply discrimination against
Foster Volunteers and PACC animals housed in private homes. Thank you.
Ms Vining was an essential part of Rodeo’s foster successes. Her gift of housing a pantry, more often than funded by her, and the guidance in her giving and giving as a
foster to foster mentor.
Note all but one Pantry is now available to caregivers with very limited resources. 🫣-

Last year, we received a $573,536 three-year grant from Maddie's Fund to expand our foster care program into a large-scale, high-volume program that would not only focus on pets with special needs, but healthy ones, too. Fast forward eight months to the present – we've achieved a record, sending 3,251 pets to foster care in one year!

Thank you PACC fosters for opening your homes to our pets. None of this would be possible without you.

Read how we did it and get a little glimpse of the foster experience from long time foster mom, Donna Vining. http://webcms.pima.gov/cms/One.aspx?portalId=169&pageId=436389

Pima Animal Care Center Call to the Audience - my three minutes.
Howdy
My name is NancyKate Grayson and I am Rodeo Kittens and Pups Fostered in Tucson, Arizona on Facebook.
Two topics in my three minutes today.
Both are extremely important and deserve the committee's attention.

1. Foster Programs
Please discuss, plan, whatever is needed to fully fund, and sustain the
LIFE saving Foster Programs.
Monica Dangler did not advocate funding for these programs.
Foster data involving up to 1000+ pets was purposely hidden from this Committee, County Supervisors, and our Community by Monica Dangler (former PACC director)
PACC must stop expecting Foster Volunteers to expense out of pocket for pet food nutrition and other needs.
End the exploitation of dedicated, and new Foster Volunteers.
End the discrimination against PACC pets housed in Foster caregiver's homes.

2. Friends of Pima Animal Care Center
Friends chose to fund Hassen's Outcomes for Pets consulting at Monica Dangler's direction.
Now these PACC Directors work together as questionable consultants.
After Kristen Hassen resigned as a PACC director, she actually
held a voting Board Seat at Friends of PACC.
Wow.
I ask again "On the Record"
for the Friends Board of Directors that meets soon, to reveal publicly all documentation regarding the Hassen 3 year hire.
I now speculate that $100,000 dollars was paid out -
possibly more. (for an un-needed customer service report)
Clarification in writing for February's AC meeting is ideal.
Like many of us, I like the Concept of Friends and the benefits to our community.
As a contracted Pima County vendor that "controls" funds
Gifted by Donors intended for PACC, it is wise going forward
ALL Friends activities be thoroughly scrutinized, past, present, and future.
Donations include indivuatals largest %, - grants and bequests. (See chart in images 2024 impact report)

Added message for those here that provided Hassen & Dangler references that help to sell Riverside County, California - Supervisors the now contested 2.6 million dollar contract involved in two lawsuits:
National Pet Welfare is closely watching PACC & Pima County's role in this ordeal.
I am saddened by loyalties for short term Directors over loyalty to Pima Animal Care Center, pets and people of our community.

In ending acknowledging the horrific situation of the California fires for pets and people affected. Our prayers are in place.

Thank you all for listening and your kind consideration.

I was rudely and unjustly interrupted by Ms Barrick / PACC AC Chair as she feels my concerns does not in her words:
I need to stop you right here. Friends of PACC business (relating to PACC directly) is not a PACC AC subject.
I / Rodeo strongly disagree.

Today's monthly PACC AC meeting, open to all.
Good is 26 attended, Including Steve Holmes
Deputy County Administrator will now oversee Pima Animal Care Center. Image

Rodeo will be speaking on:
For the 3rd time asking for full disclosure of community funds that Friends of PACC paid to K. Hassen - Outcomes For Pets over 3 years, and who ordered (Dangler) & why was this done? Fee $20,000 - $100,000 speculated.
Friends added Hassen to their Board of Directors as a voting member after Hassen resigned. Over the top conflict of interest, as Friends then hired Hassen to consult at PACC 3 years.
Find out about connections of Riverside, Los Angeles & Pima Counties.
Hear about 's exploits and use of the good of PACC and PACC volunteers by Outcomes For Pets to sell shelters contracts for questionable consulting.
Yes, Monica Dangler's next employment is as a so called “foster program expert” with Hassen. Dangler’s indifference towards the never funded PACC Foster programs, fosters, and used fostering to hide PACC pets.
Today 1000 PACC pets are housed with foster volunteers without secure nutrition funding. ‘s doing to mislead Supervisors.
Updates to the disputed $2.6 million Riverside contract, and 2 lawsuits pending to Cancel the contract.

By the numbers, and by the communities heart love for pets. ❤️

Safe from harm.
Leash up pups even in your own yard for potty breaks.
And it’s ok if an inside potty accident happens, hug and easy clean up - is far better than a lost terrifying experience for the pets we love. ❤️
Keep them inside - secure. Safe from harm.
Perhaps consider in the
New Year to Foster a PACC pet, save a life. Enrich yours.
