Story
CENSUS DEADLINE 5PM 12/10/24Name: SandyAnimal ID: A820935Age: 3 years Weight: 57 lbs. About: Sandy is an energetic, happy young dog who is looking for his forever home. He spent close to a year in a foster home before returning to the shelter and we learned the following:- He lived with another dog and did great - He was housebroken - He is an active, playful pup who will benefit from training and structure - He is well- behaved when left home alone, snoozing the day away- He is smart, alert, and curious - He is sweet and loves to be with his people- He loves toys- He loves to runSandy will thrive in an active household with owners who can provide him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He`s a smart and eager-to-please dog who will benefit from training and positive reinforcement.Here’s what one volunteer at the shelter said:“I have a thing for brown dogs and Sandy fits the bill. He is the whole package in my eyes. We walk in the desert together, with no pulling or jumpiness. I find him to be such a nice walker. He turns to me now and then looking for a treat, but I tell him to keep walking and he continues on. I haven`t seen any reactivity or mouthiness from him any time I have had him out. He`s actually one of the most enjoyable walks of my night. I find Sandy to be an awesome companion and thoroughly enjoy any time I can spend with him.”While Sandy can be good with other dogs his size and larger, he has a high prey drive and should not be in a home with cats or small animals. He`s also prone to destructive behavior when bored or stressed, so crate training and plenty of enrichment are essential. Due to an old fracture from when he first came to the shelter, Sandy will need joint supplements to keep him comfortable for life. Sandy is a wonderful dog who deserves a loving and patient family. Please ask about how you can help Sandy! Available for foster care or adoption through PACC.Adoption Process:Interested parties:• Must visit PACC before the 5:00 PM December 10, 2024, deadline to meet with an adoption or foster counselor who will go over notes and then introduce you to ensure that it’s a good fit.

Story
Peaches is a 7-year-old pup who’s mastered the art of balance: part adventure-buddy, part professional napper. She’s equally happy going for walks, runs, or backyard toy chases (fetch is still a work in progress) as she is flopping onto the couch for some quality cuddle time.Peaches loves people of all ages, but would be best with older kids who can recognize when she needs a little personal space. She can be a bit shy around new faces at first but quickly warms up with some reassurance from her person. She is perfectly housebroken however and is a quiet and very polite houseguest with her foster. This quirky girl has a few standout moves that are guaranteed to make you smile, like flopping onto her back with her favorite toy or turning into a full-blown wiggle machine when you come home. She’s a treat enthusiast (her Kong is a favorite!) and a perfect mix of busy bee and couch potato. While Peaches doesn’t know many commands just yet, she’s a quick learner and understands when she’s invited to share the bed or politely asked to hop off. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who’ll join you for adventures and movie marathons alike, Peaches is your girl!Here is an update from her foster home: “Peaches, also known as Miss Peach, has made incredible progress in our home. When she first met us, she was a bit shy and liked to keep to herself. Now, she has no fear asking for snuggles or sharing her sense of humor. She is an active girl who loves to chase after toys, play tug of war, and go for daily walks or runs. For a 7 year old, she definitely has some pep in her step! She is the absolute perfect mix between a certified snuggle buddy and accountability partner who will keep you on track with getting your steps in. Peaches favorite place in the world is the park. We visit almost daily so she can get her sniffs in. Though she she prefers to be the only dog, she likes to mind her own business and is easy to direct to a clear path when other pups come near. All she needs is a friend who has her back and can help her steer clear of incoming dogs! Peaches has brought so much joy, laughter, and love into our lives. She had that doggy intuition of when you may need some extra love after a hard day or a big helping of laughter. We absolutely adore her, and know you will too”

Story
Discovered in 2005, Hydra is one of several small, distant moons that orbit Pluto. But, if you’re not up for a trip to outer space, you can make the much shorter trip to PACC to meet a different Hydra! Hydra is a sweet senior citizen who came to PACC when she lost her person. She’s dreaming of a journey of her own- one that takes her back into a loving home! Here’s what one volunteer said:“Hydra is a real sweetheart who walks very well on a loose leash. After a few minutes to warm up to me, she became very affectionate. Hydra loves treats, which she takes with a soft mouth.”Hydra was a bit nervous when meeting other dogs in playgroup but warmed up and was tolerant overall. She explored the yard, mostly keeping to herself. Hydra would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Ask to meet Hydra today!!

Story
Attention! We need to make an announcement before anyone from PETA comes at us with red paint; while it may look and feel like Tobias is wearing a fox fur stole, it’s really his very own squishy scruff! No foxes were harmed in the making of this big snuggle muffin! Tobias just happens to be lucky enough to come with an extra soft and luxurious coat (the better to cuddle him with!). Volunteers love this boy, with one sharing:“Oh my goodness! Tobias is a big old handsome teddy bear of a dog! He is so freaking handsome and is a smushy love bug! When he first got to the yard he was a little bit anxious, but after going potty, he settled in next to me for pets! I was sitting on a bench and he even crawled under my legs to be in a prime snuggle position! He is so sweet and cuddly and just sat by my side getting snugs! He took treats pretty gently and shared space politely with his kennelmate. He’s a darling, squishy big baby!” Tobias shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been social and playful when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Tobias will make an incredible addition to a loving family; he’ll show you his very best cuddly moves and turn your frown upside down every day! Ask to meet him today!!
