My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

EMERGENCY PLACEMENT DEADLINE
5PM MONDAY 09/08/25
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ONLY THROUGH PACC


Name: Mousse
Animal ID: A869969
Age: 2 years
Weight: 88lbs.
Web Link: 24petconnect.com/PimaAdoptablePets/Details/PIMA/A869969
About: Just like the delicious dessert he`s named after, our Mousse is a truly sweet guy. This dashing, robust, caramel-colored mixed breed is looking for a hero to give him his second chance at a forever home. Mousse has been through a lot in his young life and recently found himself back at the shelter, but we`re committed to helping him find his perfect fit.
Mousse was originally found as a stray and was later adopted. Unfortunately, he was recently returned to the shelter. While we knew he had a history of resource guarding with other dogs, it was discovered in his adoptive home that he also struggles with resource guarding around children. Because of this, it is crucial that his new home has no children.
Mousse also needs to be the only pet in the home. He has a history of resource guarding with other dogs, which led to a previous altercation and injury. It is essential that his new family fully understands this behavior and is prepared to take all necessary precautions to keep Mousse and any other household members safe.
In his previous home, Mousse was described as a playful and affectionate dog who loved to be by his person`s side. His foster parent shared that Mousse has `so much love to give in the right home.` He`s a big boy with an even bigger heart; just waiting for a family to shower him with affection and provide the dedicated guidance he needs. He is energetic and will need a secure yard and monitoring to ensure he doesn`t attempt another escape.
Mousse is a good dog who needs a savvy adopter who understands his unique needs. If you`re looking for a loyal, lifelong companion and believe your home is the perfect fit for Mousse to thrive, please come to PACC and ask to meet this magnificent boy. This is his last chance at finding his forever home, and he deserves a hero of his own.

Available adoption Only through PACC.
