Story
Red is a very sweet dog. We adopted him from the Humane Society when he was 11 weeks old. We know he is German Shepherd, but not sure what he’s mixed with. He has never bitten anyone, ever. He gets along with our border collie/lab mix. He does not get along with our English Mastuff. He is potty and crate trained. He is very high energy. Loves to be outside, plays with toy balls, is good on leash. He is a sweet dog overall. He gives kisses and cuddles. He loves his people and is overall a great dog. He just needs the right home and the right people for him.

Story
Meet Starbuck (5 yrs) – A Loyal, Smart, and Adventurous Companion! Starbuck is an amazing dog who thrives as the only pet in a home. She knows commands, comes when called, and is incredibly strong and fast. She loves the dog park, swimming, and car rides with her head out the window. She’s in perfect health and an excellent watchdog, always alerting me before my Ring camera does! Named after Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace from Battlestar Galactica, she’s loyal, brave, and a little reckless. She even remembers the names of her toys and can retrieve them by name! She’s affectionate, loves giving kisses, and would make a wonderful companion. I wish I could keep her, but I need to find her the perfect home where she’ll be the only dog. If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, and protective companion, Starbuck is the one! Contact me if you're interested in giving her the loving home she deserves.

Story
The largest German Shepherd you've ever seen! Seriously, Barley is a big boy who thinks he's a small boy. Energetic, playful, loving and loyal - he's a huge sweetie but hasn't had a lot of socialization or training. He has been living with me, an older woman, for the last few years - I agreed to adopt him for a friend who left the state. Unfortunately, with my health issues escalating I can't take care of Barley any more. He's bigger than I am and I'm barely able to move. It breaks my heart, and I'm really hoping that somebody with more strength and experience can work with him and guide him toward a better life than I am physically able to.

📢 URGENT: Rehoming Our Dog Due to Military Relocation. Hi everyone. I’m looking for a loving home for Durk, our sweet 2-year-old German Shepherd mix. He is around 65 lbs, neutered, and up to date on all vaccines. My husband is leaving for military training, and my son and I are moving somewhere that doesn’t allow pets. I’ve exhausted every option — this decision is heartbreaking but necessary. We are running out of time, any help is appreciated. Durk is incredibly loving, loyal, and gentle. He is great with babies, kids, and toddlers. He loves fetch and chewing his stuffed animals. He knows basic commands and is eager to please! He’s a true companion dog who just wants to be by your side. A small rehoming fee applies to ensure he goes to a safe, committed home. Located in Marana, AZ. Message me if interested or if you know someone who might be, thank you!

Story
Ali is a senior Malinois who lived in one home her entire life before being surrendered to the shelter in January 2025 when her person’s living situation changed. She was reportedly house and crate trained and her former person described her as a playful, affectionate dog who loves toys.Ali has since spent time in two different foster homes and has done great. She has doubled down on her house and crate training, did well with the other resident dogs, and showed off her playful nature. She loves to play fetch and is an active, smart senior who thrives with mental and physical enrichment. One of her fosters said that Ali is friendly and loving toward people and walks nicely in leash.Here`s what one volunteer at the shelter said:“Ali did a nice sit when asked so that I could leash her up. She is a loose-leash walker and isvery attentive and responsive. She was not at all reactive to other dogs in the kennels or out in the park. When I sat down on a bench, she came right up and shoved her head under my hand repeatedly for pets, and laid her head in my lap. Very sweet dog!”Ali shares her kennel with another PACC pup and has been playful and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Ask to meet Ali today!!
