The S.O.S. Help Desk is a partnership between No Kill Pima County and PACC. We've had a 30% rate of diversion on keeping animals out of the shelter by offering information, encouragement and resources during (our very limited) hours of operation. We need more volunteers to make a bigger impact! Please join us at our next training. Offering S.N.I.P. vouchers has been a part of this success! Shadowing a mentor for 2 hours prior to the training is a requirement to see first hand if this is up your alley. Contact to schedule or if interested!

NEXT TRAINING MARCH 9th, 2015. Join the S.O.S. Help Desk Team. Contact us to reserve a space in the next training. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE: 1/3 of the people we talk to at the S.O.S. Help Desk, outside the PACC intake door, decide NOT to leave their pet(s) at PACC. And over 90% of those pets who w…

Thank you to everyone who came to and contributed to the "Flea-less Market"! We raised almost $1000 which will launch the Melvin Community Cat Medical Fund and a portion of which will be used to sponsor felines that may test positive for felv/FIV at the Pima Animal Care Center.

As the adoptable cats move from tiny kennels and are integrated into large enclosures where they can climb, scratch, play, hide etc. they will need to be tested. An estimated 2-3% of the population will test positive and we want to be able to offer sponsorship on these at risk cats as as Special Needs Adoptions and to rescue. Positive cats are among the most difficult to place and it's likely they can not stay at PACC long.

This will be a challenging and emotional side effect of this new approach to sheltering at PACC, however, when considering the benefits, it is a risk worth taking. Both rescue and adoptive families will know the the status of the cats they take in in advance.

Newsworthy!

Animal welfare in the U.S. and other countries is going to get a huge boost on Monday. In order to appreciate just how big a boost it will be, some sad facts must be acknowledged. First, there are ...
