More than 11,000 pets adopted during Pima Animal Care Center’s 2012 $10 for 10,000 campaign

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

This weekend’s Find a Friend event is last chance to adopt a pet for $10

Once again the $10 for 10,000 adoption campaign has increased the number of animals adopted from Pima Animal Care Center (PACC). Throughout the yearlong campaign, 11,345 animals found new and loving families compared to just over 10,500 the previous year.

The campaign was so successful that PACC is offering one last opportunity to adopt a pet for $10 with its “Find a Friend” weekend Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15.

Starting Monday, July 16, half-price summer discounts will resume. Adoption fees will vary based on factors such as the age of the animal or the length of time it has been at PACC. Until the fall, $50 per animal is the most anyone can expect to pay.

Pima Animal Care Center is located at 4000 N. Silverbell Road. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday noon – 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. For a detailed list of prices and more information, visit PACC’s website at www.pima.gov/animalcare or call 243-5900.

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Pima County, Ariz. (Dec. 9, 2011) – Just in time for the holidays, Pima Animal Care Center is offering dogs and cats that have been sheltered for four weeks or more at a discounted adoption fee of $15.
The 2011 Holiday Angels program helps you become an angel to a dog or cat that has been waiting weeks for a new home, by reducing the adoption fee.
The discounted fee will be offered beginning Saturday, Dec. 10 through Saturday, Dec. 31.
Only dogs and cats that have been at the shelter for at least four weeks can be adopted at this discounted fee.
The adoption fee can also be presented as a holiday gift. The fee can be paid by the gift giver and offered to the recipient in the form of a gift certificate. The animal can be adopted at a later date by the recipient of the gift.
To adopt a dog or cat under the Holiday Angels program, or to buy a Holiday Angels gift certificate, visit the Animal Care Center at 4000 N. Silverbell Road. Hours are Monday through Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Holiday time, when families have more time to spend at home, is a good time to bond with a new pet and give the pet time to adapt to its new surroundings.
