Donate to Help Pima Animal Care Center's Pets

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:

Donate through our Amazon wish list: Purchase enrichment toys, treats and other items to keep our pets happy and healthy while they wait for their new homes!

We have several targeted lists: 

• Urgent Needs
• Medical Needs
• Keeping Families Together
• Cats
• Dogs

Donate to the Friends of PACC, our non-profit partner group who provide care above-and-beyond what the shelter can provide. Their programs help save our most vulnerable pets.
