Story
Simba is a sweet and nervous pup who came to the shelter as an owner surrender. Simba is very friendly, however he gets anxious meeting new people and appreciates people who go at his pace and give him time to warm up. Simba loves playing with toys such as ropes, balls, and kongs. He also loves a variety of treats and considers himself a treat connoisseur. Simba would do best in a mellow, low energy household with patient humans who will continue his training. He would like to meet all family members and potential new dog friends before he goes home.

Story
Piper was the main character in the show Orange is the New Black…not that we`re comparing kennel life to prison life. I mean sure, there are some similarities… you spend most of your time indoors with a couple of daily exercise breaks, you don`t get to choose your roommate, and the food can be a bit monotonous. But, you don`t have to wear orange! In fact most of the inmates don`t wear any clothes at all, because, you know… they`re dogs. Also, you don`t have to break the law to end up in the shelter- Piper certainly didn`t! To top it all off, Piper can leave anytime- she just needs to find a family first! #FreePiperPiper was originally adopted through a rescue group and was in a home for about a year and half before first coming to the shelter in 2022. She was housebroken in that home and would politely bork when she needed to be let out to do her business. She slept at the foot of her people`s bed and they told us that she loves attention, and to run and play fetch. Her only request is that she not be disturbed while sleeping- a girl needs her beauty rest!! Piper was adopted, but her family is moving so she’s back on the search for her happily ever after. In her most recent home, she was described as affectionate, playful, friendly and cuddly. She was also housebroken and crate trained and reportedly did well with kids.Piper has been social, tolerant, and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. She may do best in a home without small dogs. Ask to meet Piper today!!

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
Lilo is a brave young pup who is coming out of her shell and learning that not only does she REALLY enjoy snuggles, laps, and scritches, but that there are kind people who will give her the care and cuddles she’s been longing for! One of Lilo’s volunteer friends shared:“It`s wonderful to see the great advances Lilo has made in her time in the shelter. When I first met her a few weeks ago, she was pretty nervous. Now when she sees me she comes to the front of her kennel, ready for an easy leash up and wanting to go outside with me. When I get her to the outside gate, she sits and waits patiently for me to get the gate open and then heads out. Sometimes I walk her and other times I take her to a large yard where she can run free with no leashes attached. She seems to really enjoy that freedom. She’ll run around having fun but always comes over to check in with me. She is definitely one who loves scratches and belly rubs. She hasn`t mastered “sit” yet but sure loves treats and human touch. When it’s time to head back (which is hard to do because I have become so fond of this sweet girl) she leashes up easily, waits patiently at the gate and away we go. She is a wonderful pup who deserves to have someone in her corner cheering for her. She truly is a loving pup. Come meet this sweet doggy at PACC and see her potential for yourself.”A staff member recently said, “Lilo came and sat right beside me to allow lots of back scratches. She eventually ended up on my lap and pawed at me to continue touching her.”This sweet little girl has mostly kept to herself during playgroup and needs to meet any potential furry roommates before heading home. If you have a calm and patient household for this pint-sized pup, come meet Lilo today!

Story
If you don’t love to snuggle and aren’t interested in a best friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, then move along. But really… who doesn’t want those things!? And our perfect Buddy Boy has all that to offer and more!! Before coming to the shelter, Buddy Boy lived in one home for over three years. He reportedly did well with kiddos and with other large dogs, but will likely do best in a home without small dogs or other small pets. Buddy Boy’s former family described him as playful and affectionate and said that he was housebroken in their home. “Buddy Boy has been good with the children, is good on car rides, and loves to chew sticks. He knows sit and stay, loves to have his belly rubbed, and is scared of thunderstorms.”This big softie also has tons of fans at the shelter- here’s what some of them have said:“Buddy Boy leashed up nicely. He pulled a bit going out, but once he did his business, he settled down into a nice walk. Very sweet boy and takes treats gently.”“Buddy Boy is a gentle sweetheart and I love taking him and his kennelmate to the yard. He`s attentive and looks back to me often. He has the best ears and he gives loving eye contact.”“I adore Buddy Boy- he is definitely one of my favorites! He is sweet and loving and wants nothing more than snuggles and attention from his human friends. Such a sweetheart!!”Buddy Boy shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been playful when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Ask to meet Buddy Boy today!!
