PIMA COUNTY – Pima Animal Care Center is gearing up for a busy fall season, this as October marks National “Adopt a Shelter Dog” month. As of Monday, Oct. 1, PACC had 390 dogs and 291 cats at its shelter.
In honor of “Adopt a Shelter Dog” month, which is celebrated by animal welfare organizations nationwide, PACC is reducing the fee to adopt a dog by 50 percent through Oct. 7.
In addition, PACC will participate in several upcoming community events where members of the public can meet adoptable dogs and learn more about PACC’s volunteer and foster programs.
