Thanks for helping the PACC dogs during the closure.

🐾 In case you haven't heard, PACC is temporarily closed to the public while staff work to contain and manage infectious diseases within the shelter, including canine distemper and respiratory infections affecting dogs across Pima County. Effective yesterday, the shelter is limiting intake through at least July 2 to only those animals that pose a risk to public safety or require emergency care. In addition, adoptions have been temporarily paused until animals can be confirmed disease-free and safe to leave the shelter. 🐾

To help dogs like Bubba A902985 (who's deadlined and we are pulling for an adopter!), we are teaming up with A Loyal Companion to collect enrichment toys and treats to help the PACC dogs pass the time in their kennels.

Please drop off any donations to A Loyal Companion at 4758 E Grant Road, from 9-4. A Loyal Companion will also have a table to make rope toys for the dogs, starting on Friday from 10-4.

Caring for a mobility challenged or senior pet has its own learning curve.

If I knew then what I know now, here are the
Top Three things I would do differently.

1️⃣ Used more Shoo Goo to protect the boots (and my investment)
2️⃣ Raised the food and water bowl earlier
3️⃣ Gotten a Help ‘em Harness or at least gotten him used to it earlier

What would you change? Let me know in the comments section!

Woof,
Kate

Grandpa is a lovable 3-year-old pup in need of a foster home where he can heal surrounded by comfort and care.

🐾 Tricolor Queensland Heeler

♥️ all heart with his gentle nature and kind spirit

He arrived at PACC with a broken leg and underwent surgery, but unfortunately the injury did not heal as expected.

Grandpa will now need an amputation, and we'd love to see him recover in a foster home where he can rest and receive the love he deserves.

Despite everything he's been through, Grandpa has been described as a sweetheart who wins people over with his gentle nature and kind spirit.

All he needs is a cozy place to recover and someone willing to give him a little extra TLC during his healing journey.

Recovery is often easier in a home than in a shelter and fostering Grandpa will make a tremendous difference in his life.

PACC will provide all medical care and support during his recovery - you provide the love, comfort, and a safe place for him to heal.

Could you be the one to give Grandpa the comfort and care he needs as he begins his journey to recovery?

Please visit Pima Animal Care Center, 4000 N. Silverbell Rd., Tucson, AZ 85745
Grandpa is at the Main/West Shelter in Kennel DOGISO 34.

Goliath is looking for the perfect match!

Look at this happy goofball showing off his first steps in his first brace.

Thanks to our amazing municipal shelter, PACC, and support from Friends of PACC, he's received outstanding medical care and 2 braces that keep him moving.

He's received ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews from PACC volunteers and his foster.
