Story

Ginger is a sweet, gentle senior lady who found herself back at PACC after several years away. Her person moved and was and unable to take her along, so Ginger really needs to find a new forever home. The shelter is no place for an older dog! In her former home, Ginger did well with other dogs and young kids, and was described as affectionate and playful. She loves toys, car rides and swimming. Ginger was unfortunately kept outdoors in her last home, so one main requirement for her future home is that she be welcomed indoors to be near her family. Ginger spent time in a foster home and we learned the following:- Ginger did great with kids and small dogs- She knows `sit` and `down` and is eager to please- She’s very sweet and just loves to be with her people.- She LOVES to cuddle and is very affectionate- She likes chew toys- She’s well-behaved - She’s a loving companion and will literally be your shadowDuring another foster stay Ginger was described as friendly, cuddly, and very easy to walk. She was well- behaved when left alone, loves chew bones, and was housebroken. She loved to nap the day away and sleep near her person at night. Here’s what one shelter volunteer said about Ginger:“I spent time with Ginger and found her to be a lovely girl. She is super sweet and easy to be with. She is easy to leash up and walk and she really enjoys and appreciates human companionship. We spent time in the yard, and she enjoyed exploring and getting in the pool. She was very good about coming to me when I called her name and she sat gently beside me and couldn`t seem to get enough petting. She likes treats and will sit for them. This tender-hearted girl is a gem and sure deserves a stable forever home.”And, as an added bonus to all of her other wonderful qualities, Ginger also has just about the cutest underbite in all of Tucson!! She’s been appropriate, tolerant, easygoing, and even a bit playful when meeting other dogs in playgroup. No cats please! Ask to meet Ginger today!!

Tucson, AZ

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Bessie is a special girl looking for a very special adopter- someone who understands her needs and can keep her safe. She’s an affectionate playful dog who originally came to PACC with a pal in 2020. In her prior home she was housebroken and her owners described her as a very sweet girl who loves hot dogs, playing, and snuggling. Bessie was adopted two more times after her initial return to the shelter but hasn`t found her perfect fit. In her most recent home, she did well with other resident dogs (big and small), was housebroken, and was described as a sweet, playful girl who loves squeaky toys. “Bessie is a LOVE with her person. Playful. Affectionate. Sweet. She rocks the muzzle. It`s hard to reconcile that dog with the dog she is when meeting people on leash, which she struggles with tremendously. She needs a home where she has guidance every step of the way.”- PACC volunteer“Bessie takes time to warm up to new people, new dogs, and new situations, but once you are her friend, she will be your friend for life. Bessie will need an experienced partner to help her adjust, but with a little patience she will gain confidence and become a loving, loyal, and trusted companion.”- PACC volunteerBessie is struggling in the shelter environment and is looking for an experienced, savvy owner. She`ll do best in a quiet home without constant activity and visitors. She`s done well sharing her kennel with another shelter pup, but she’ll need a proper introduction to any resident dogs. If you can help give Bessie the stability she needs and deserves, and can work with her on building confidence and modifying her behavior in new situations, please ask about her today!Email to ask about her!Megan: Megan.Lumpkin@pima.govJamie: Jamie.Macias@pima.gov

Story

Coco is a sweet, snuggly lady looking for a soft and cozy landing place. She has arthritis in her elbows and takes daily medications to manage her pain. She would be so grateful for a loving family to spoil her! Here’s what volunteers have said:“I met Coco for the first time tonight and she was immediately friendly and seemed so happy to get some attention. She was easy to leash up and was not at all reactive to other dogs we passed. We went to a yard where she just wanted to stay right with me and get cuddled and loved on. She takes treats gently and gave me some gentle kisses in return. She is so affectionate and sweet! Coco is an absolute doll.”“Coco is just wonderful. After taking care of business she had a great loose leash walk and was an extreme sniffer- she just loves to sniff! She also enjoyed being petted and sat nicely for treats which she took very gently. She was well behaved, sweet, and mellow and got along well with her kennelmates. Looking forward to spending time with her again.”Coco shares her kennel politely and has been easygoing and sweet when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Ask to meet Coco today!!

Story

RESCUE ONLY DEADLINE 5PM 11/25/24Name: DeeganAnimal ID: A488663Age: 11 yearsWeight: 62 lbs.About: Deegan, is an 11-year-old black and white mix breed, he has had a remarkably tough life. He has been in and out of shelters over seven times since 2014, experiencing the heartbreak of also having seven different owners over that time span. This gentle soul deserves a chance at a peaceful and loving retirement, far from the constant uncertainty of shelter life.Despite his difficult past, Deegan remains a loving and loyal companion. However, he does have some behavioral quirks that require understanding and patience. Deegan has a tendency to be escape-artist, so he needs constant supervision when outdoors. Additionally, he has a history of biting, though these incidents occurred during a challenging period in his life when he was homeless and on a leash.Deegan would thrive in a home without small animals, as he has had negative interactions with cats and small dogs in the past. He would also do best as an only pet but could potentially live with another dog of similar size, he must have a meet and greet before going home to ensure they can get along.Deegan deserves a chance at a peaceful and loving retirement. He yearns for a forever home where he can relax, receive plenty of affection, and be truly cherished. If you are looking to offer this deserving senior dog a chance at a happy ending, please consider opening your heart and home to Deegan.Adoption Process:Interested parties:•Must visit PACC before the 5:00 PM November 25, 2024, deadline to meet with an adoption counselor who will go over notes and then introduce you to ensure that it’s a good fit. •Are encouraged to reach out to a rescue group ASAP (even before coming to PACC), to start the rescue approval process.
