If any of you in the Tucson area knows someone looking for a companion animal...

The shelter in Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) just ended up with 88 small dogs. Some are ready for foster or adoption now, some will need evaluations first.

We took in 88 dogs from a single home on Saturday evening, pushing the shelter to a record high capacity of 628 dogs.
PACC’s Animal Protection Services team received a call from the Tucson Police Department late on Saturday evening regarding a home that was being condemned. PACC officers found a large number of small terrier and Dachshund-type dogs at the property, including several litters of puppies. The majority of the dogs have been surrendered by the owner and will be available for adoption or foster from PACC once they have been medically and behaviorally evaluated, with some available as early as today.
PACC is in IMMEDIATE need of fosters and adopters for the dogs at PACC. With 628 dogs in our shelter, the need is now.
We have many adult dogs in need of foster/adoptive homes as well as several litters of moms and puppies who need foster homes. All dogs and puppies are currently FREE to adopt. If you can help, please come to PACC today. We are open from noon to 7 p.m.
