Pima Animal Care Center is working to find loving homes for homeless animals, while helping to keep our neighborhoods and public spaces safe. Please join us in our goal of educating the community about responsible pet ownership. We here at the Pima Animal Care Center are committed to finding loving homes for homeless animals in Pima County. We treat all animals individually, and place them for ado

ption based on their individual behavior and health, not their breed.

According to a new report, not all Christmas songs are as fun as relaxing as we'd hope. 😅

Experts weighed in and put together a list of the most (and least) stressful holiday tunes for pets.

❌ Most stressful? "Last Christmas" by Wham!
Other stressful songs include: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Santa Tell me," and "Where are you Christmas." 😬

✅ Least stressful? "Carol of the Bells" from the Home Alone Soundtrack by John Williams.
Also on that list: "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," "Frosty the Snowman," "Sleigh Ride," and "Here Comes Santa Clause."

Pictured:
Quirk* A880132, who says he will listen to ANY of the songs mentioned, as long as he's with YOU! He's a cute, spunky little meatball with a big noggin’ and a huge heart to match! He’s a happy little fella whose tail never stops wagging, and he has a big old goofy smile for everyone he meets. Quirk has shared his kennel and has been social when meeting other dogs in playgroup.

This is Fresa. She's been with her foster family for two months, and she's ready for her forever home!

Check out her great notes:

🚽 Housetrained? Yes. She also know how to use a doggy door.

🐶 Experience with dogs? She has cuddled up to her foster sibling, Indy and likes to walk side by side when doing her daily 2 miles!

🛏️ She sleeps in a closed crate in her foster's room at night.

🧸 When left alone, there has been no destruction or signs of distress/separation anxiety. (But she does ask that you leave her a Kong and some other toys!)

"Fresa is a love bug! She is very affectionate, open, and friendly with us and new people she has met. She will walk right up to a stranger for a pat and scratch. She loves to cuddle on the couch with you. She is super soft and will melt into you if you massage or stroke her head."

Another fun fact: She loves catching and eating popcorn! If you are interested in adopting , please email [email protected]

Thunderlock A882567 is hoping you have space under your Christmas tree for him.

He came to PACC as a stray after being hit by a car. This handsome man was patched up with a femur fracture repair on one leg, and now he needs the other one done. BUT he needs a nice place to recover from the surgery, not a kennel.

Friends of Pima Animal Care Center, with the support of donors, will cover the cost of his surgery. Because this is a difficult procedure, he will need to go to a specialty surgeon. Donations to Friends of PACC help cover medical cases like his, ensuring that animals at PACC get the care they need.

If interested, please come down to PACC to meet him or email [email protected] with any questions!

Besito A885861 is a little bit nervous in the loud shelter. He would LOVE an adopter or foster who can give him a nice, calm place to relax.

Our volunteers have a tough time getting him to want to leave his kennel because of all the barking, but when they show him it's ok, he melts and showers them with love. 😍

He promises to give kisses, cuddles, and all the affection you could ever want. 😘

$0 adoption fee. $20 licensing fee. Stop by PACC any time we are open to meet him!

Blue has his eyes on the horizon, looking for his new family!

He just came back from foster and his fosters just loved him! They said he was a calm, couch potato. He also is house-trained and very friendly. Volunteers say his a very affectionate, happy boy.

Thanks to the BISSELL Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelter's promotions, he currently has a $0 adoption fee, so you'd only have to pay the $20 licensing fee!
