Why Give?
We are Pima County’s only 
open-admissions shelter, taking in 18,400 lost, homeless, and abandoned pets every year and serving another 15,000 in the community. Thanks to the generosity of our community, PACC saves more than 90% of the pets who enter the shelter. Your donations go directly to saving more lives and provide critical support to the pets who need it the most. Orphaned puppies and kittens, senior and geriatric pets who have been surrendered and pets who are recovering from illness or injury are just some of the pets who benefit from your donations.
Here's how to donate:
You can make the greatest impact for animals at PACC by donating to our nonprofit partner, Friends of PACC. Their programs allow us to provide a level of care above and beyond what we could otherwise provide by helping to save the most vulnerable pets in our community! You can donate to Friends of PACC online, by check through the mail, or even by phone. Check out all the ways you can donate by visiting Friends of PACC.
You can donate enrichment toys, treats, and other much-needed items through our Amazon Wish List to keep our shelter pets happy and healthy while they wait for new homes!
We have several targeted lists:
