Monsoon rain means reduced adoption fees at PACC

Shelter offering weekly “forecasted” sale

PIMA COUNTY –Pima Animal Care Center is loving the refreshing rain the monsoons bring, so each week during July will feature a different “forecasted” sale. Every Sunday, that week’s “forecasted” adoption special will be posted on PACC’s social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The summer months are very busy for the shelter, with intakes reaching as high as 130 pets a day. There are currently 387 number of puppies and dogs and 291 number of kittens and cats at the shelter. Outside the shelter, there are 624 cats and kittens and 314 dogs and puppies in foster care. That’s a total of 1,616 pets in need of homes.

For those who can’t adopt, fosters are always needed. The foster signups begin online. People can take a pet home for a few hours, a few days, or even a few months. Any amount of time spent outside the shelter is good for their mental health.
