Jensen Just Fine

Jensen came to PCACC in mid-November 2022 and was diagnosed with megaesophagus in December. This condition causes the esophagus to dilate and lose its ability to move food into the stomach. Dogs must be fed in an upright position so this is difficult to manage in a shelter. Fortunately, Furry Faces Sanctuary in Iowa rescued him. With some help from SaddleBrooke Pet Rescue Network, your generous donations made his transportation to Iowa possible and he is now doing fine in his forever home.

Roadie is Recovering

Roadie was found hit by a car on I-10. With both hind legs and pelvis broken in multiple places, he was unable to stand and walk but had sensation in his hind legs. Rockstar Rescue initially thought he would need both hind legs amputated, but vets were able to save his right one. Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to make a significant contribution to his care. This very sweet pup is now learning how to live a new life!

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Sometimes it is the littlest thing that can make a big difference. Your support allowed us to purchase the materials to make 125 platform beds for the dogs. It will get them off the cold concrete floor and make them so much more comfortable!

Keeping Up with Laundry

It was really tough to stay ahead of the daily deluge of laundry before you helped us fund a new commercial washer/extractor. The loads are still coming in, but volunteers can get them washed and dried much quicker with the new machine. And...the pups and kitties really appreciate the clean bedding and towels.

Several years ago, a sweet dog from PCACC was being fostered in Tucson. The dog, Dennis, had a regular collar. As is often the case during the first few weeks of being fostered, he got frightened. He slipped out of his collar in a busy area of the city. Sadly, he ran away, and was killed in traffic. In honor of Dennis, Friends of Pinal has been providing martingale collars for PCACC ever since.

These collars tighten with tension so it doesn't slip over the dog's head. we purchase the collars from CanisGear.com at a reasonable price.
