On Tuesday last week Pima Animal Care Center took in 15 dogs who were surrendered by their owner after she was evicted. Today, PACC accepted 19 cats from another evicted homeowner.

Currently the shelter is caring for more than 600 animals and needs community help to foster or adopt incoming pets.

PACC is the county's only open-admission shelter and never turns away a pet in need, but large influxes of animals put a strain on the already full kennels.

If you would like to help these pets but can't commit to adopting, try fostering a pet. If you are interested in adopting a pet into your family, look online or visit them in person at 4000 N. Silverbell Road. PACC’s normal business hours are Monday through Friday, noon-7 p.m. or 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the weekends.
