Pima Animal Care Center is having a overcrowding problem. They have taken close to 180 animals in two days and the shelter is looking for help in the community to adopt or foster animals.

As of Thursday, June 14 the shelter had close to 350 dogs and over 250 cats.

“The situation at PACC is increasingly dire, as there is not one single space to put an incoming dog right now.” said PACC Director of Animal Services Kristen Auerbach.

PACC will be having a "Pet for Dad" adoption special, which will give community members the  opportunity to name their own adoption fee for any pet. The special is running all weekend, through Father's Day, Sunday, June 17.

The pets will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and come with a vet visit voucher.

Dog licenses cost $18.

If you do not want to adopt, people can consider the option of fostering that does not come with any time limits if you fall in love with our new furry friend. You can foster for a day, a week or a month.

For the fostering and adoption application you can go to PACCs website.

To visit the shelter, business hours are noon to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the weekend.

Hi friends! I’m Charger!

I am a 5-year-old boy who is looking for my fur-ever home! I am a playful boy who already knows how to sit. I absolutely love treats and will be easy to teach new tricks.

The nice veterinarian at HSSA told me I have atopy which means I have allergies that make me very itchy. Don’t let that scare you though! I will need a special diet of z/d food, some medications, and follow up veterinary care.

I would love to meet any dogs or kids that live in your home. Bring them to HSSA Main Campus at 635 W. Roger Rd. to meet me. For more information give an adoptions counselor a call at 520-327-6088, ext. 173.

Hi, I'm Apple Juice!

I am a 2-year-old girl who can’t wait to meet my fur-ever family! I came to HSSA as a transfer from another shelter so they don’t know much about my past. They do know that I am a very sweet girl who is going to make someone very happy. I would do best in a home with a mellow playmate.

I tested positive for valley fever, but that doesn't mean that I don't deserve a home. Valley fever is a manageable condition and HSSA will even send me home with a 6 month supply of medication.
I would do best in a home with older kids. Bring any dogs or kids to meet me at HSSA Main Campus at 635 W. Roger Rd. For more information give an adoptions counselor a call at 520-327-6088, ext. 173.

See you soon,
Apple Juice (521799)

Hi there. My name is Baby!

I am an 8-year-old boy who is feeling lucky about finding the purr-fect family! I arrived at HSSA shortly after my owner passed away. When I got to HSSA I was very shy. I will do best with a patient family that will give me time to adjust.

I am a good listener and will purr when you tell me stories. Once I am comfortable I enjoy chin scratches. In the past I have done well with some cats and calm, older kids. Great news, because of my age my adoption fee is only $50!

I would love to meet you! Come meet me at HSSA Main Campus at 635 W. Roger Rd. For more information give an adoptions counselor a call at 520-327-6088, ext. 173.

Lots of Purrs,
Baby (853470)
