PET OF THE WEEK: PACO 🐾

We didn’t realize how much we ALL needed this Dolly Parton pep talk today. Especially Paco. This sweet boy has been waiting far too long for his loving family, and sometimes it’s easy to get discouraged. But we’re here to remind Paco that he IS enough. He’s smart, gentle, affectionate, eager to please, and has SO much love to give.

Just look at him showing off his skills! Sit? Nailed it. Stay? You got it. Being the goodest boy? Effortless. 🥹

Paco is the ultimate sidekick, whether you’re heading out on an adventure, running errands, or snuggling on the couch. All he’s missing is someone to share it all with.

We know his people are out there. People who will see just how special he is and wonder how they ever lived without him.

Paco, don’t give up. Your happily ever after is still coming. ❤️ Help us share and find Paco’s family!

Help us find Paco’s people! Share his story, tag a friend, or come meet this very good boy. 🐶💕

We’re still not over this PAW-TY! 🐾🎉 It’s been a week since Party Like An Animal took over The Ameswell, and these beautiful photos from our friend Steven Rice have us reliving all the fun!

From furry friends and the photo booth to Los Trancolizers, a lively auction and paddles flying high, our community showed up BIG for animals who depend on us.

To everyone who sponsored, attended, bid, donated, volunteered or cheered us on: THANK YOU! Your generosity means more care, more second chances, and more happy tails.

Missed the party or want to keep the good going? It’s not too late to make a gift. Every donation makes a difference! Help us reach our $200,000 goal with a gift at PetsInNeed.org!
