Story
Molly is a silly, goofy girl with the happiest spirit. Even while navigating her medical journey, she stays upbeat, playful, and incredibly loving. Her hip surgery is scheduled for 3/3/2026 and we are so excited for her!She melts into hugs and absolutely ADORES affection. She also loves hard chew toys — chewing is one of her favorite activities and keeps her happily entertained for hours.She has a moderate energy level and enjoys daily walks. Molly gets along VERY well with our resident dog and has shown no resource guarding or growling. She’s social, gentle, and very easygoing around Porter (resident dog). She actually opened up to us more with Porter showing her the way!Molly sleeps through the night, does well on a leash, and is currently working on crate and potty training — she’s doing well overall and continues to improve. She is beginning to learn basic cues like “sit,” but training is being kept gentle and slow due to her hip so she stays comfortable.Molly is so sweet, playful, and FULL of personality. She brings a lighthearted energy wherever she goes and truly just wants love and fun! She would make a wonderful family companion for someone looking for an affectionate, happy pup with a big heart!!Molly takes daily medications for her valley fever and needs a hip surgery!

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
Some pups need a bit of extra time and TLC, and Darla is one such sensitive, shy gal. She needs help building confidence and trust and needs a quiet home to allow her to do that. Here’s what one volunteer said about meeting Darla:“Darla is just a very scared pup, new to the shelter. Once leashed, she walked right out with me and for the most part, she walked right next to me but did spook at loud noises. In a play yard she stayed in the corner most of the time but then started sniffing around a bit. She did not approach me but hopefully with time she will learn the routine and start to trust.”Darla shares her kennel with another PACC pup and may benefit from having a calm, confident furry friend to show her the ropes in a future home. She’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Darla is a special girl who needs a special family who understands that a dog like her will need time and patience to thrive. If you think you may be a good match, please ask about Darla today!

Kiva is a friendly, beautiful gal who is longing for a family of her own. This girl is as sweet as they come and opens up quickly. Here’s what some of her friends at the shelter have said:“Kiva is so sweet! I took she and her kennel mate to a yard today and she was friendly in kennel and easy to leash. In the yard she enjoyed sniffing all the smells and getting pets- she has the softest fur!! She knows sit and is a gentle and well-behaved girl overall. She even gave me some sweet kisses!”“I somehow only met Kiva for the first time last night and she is my new snuggle therapy dog. Easy to leash and polite in her kennel. I took her to a play yard where she did her business and came right over to me. I sat on the ground and she put her whole body across my lap and just melted into belly rubs and pets. Kiva is a sweet gentle princess who bonds quickly to new people.”Kiva shares her kennel with another PACC pup and would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit.

Story
In 1956 Buddy Holly and The Crickets introduced their song “Peggy Sue” to the world. The sweet lyrics and catchy tune made for a chart-topping hit:“Peggy Sue, Peggy SueOh how my heart yearns for youOh Peggy, my Peggy SueOh well, I love you gal, yes, I love you Peggy Sue”Well, we’ve got our own beloved pup named Sue here in the shelter! Sue spent about a month in a foster home where she was a well- behaved, perfect houseguest. She is house and crate trained, walks well on leash, and is a super friendly gal who loves tummy rubs and chasing a ball. “Sue is a pleasant dog who likes her walks and likes to be near you. She is wonderful in the house and she`s great on walks!”In another foster home of over five months Sue loved tummy rubs, was house trained, crate trained, and well- behaved when left home alone. She likes to chase a ball, and was described as friendly and polite. “Sue’s nickname should be `Poppins` as in Mary Poppins...practically perfect in every way. I don`t know why she hasn`t been scooped up sooner!”Here’s what Sue’s friends at the shelter have said:“Oh Sue, I love you! Sue is an incredibly affectionate, loving, sweetie sweetie sweetie middle-aged gal! She loves to be out in a play yard, running and playing with her kennel mate, but especially getting love from her volunteer friends. She`s a beautiful gal who will climb up in your lap if you let her, but she`s also content just to sit by your side and get pets.”“Sue is a friendly middle-aged gal who has SO MUCH love to give! She’s always so happy to see her volunteer friends in the morning and she greets us with her sweet waggy tail and big smile. Once in the play yard she loves to trot around the yard with her kennelmate before soliciting lots of love and attention from the handler in the yard. She’s a spry gal who loves attention and affection.”Sue shares her kennel with another PACC pup and has been social and tolerant when meeting other dogs in playgroup. She has some arthritis and is looking for a family who will continue her (affordable) supplement and medication regimen to keep her pain managed. Song lyrics may have been simpler back in the 50s, but we think they still ring true:“Peggy Sue, Peggy SuePretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Peggy SueOh Peggy, my Peggy SueOh well, I love you gal and I need you Peggy Sue”Ask to meet Sue today!!

Goose is about 4-5yrs old. We originally adopted him from a shelter when he was 9 months old. He is very smart. Is crate trained, uses a lead leash for walks, and potty trained. He loves attention and sit near you but will go lay down somewhere else if told. His fur is soft and only sheds a little. He is such a loving dog but is afraid of young kids. We are hoping to find him a good home as soon as possible as we are about to have our second baby. We will provide his crate for free, leash and harness for walks, dog bowls, etc. Please take our sweet Goose and give him the love he deserves.

Story
This is Maple. I adopted him almost a year ago from the shelter. Since then I’ve had some sudden housing changes. I was initially almost able to stay where I’m at but now I’m having to move and am going to have increased costs for rent and utilities. Additionally I’m going to be the only one to take care of him and I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week so I don’t have as much time or help to take care of him, plus losing some of my ability to pay for the vet. For all these reasons I’m hoping to quickly find him a home. I’ve been looking for a couple months since the possibility of having to move first came up but nobody has committed despite some interest. He is a great companion dog, very mellow but still is playful. He came out of his shell a lot since I’ve had him. He can still be skittish and nervous especially at first but given time he will warm up. He is a couch potato and doesn’t care for walks as he gets anxious so he’s content hanging around the house or backyard for a bit.
