The Pima Animal Care Center (PACC), regarded as a cornerstone for pet-loving families in Pima County, keeps breaking new ground with programs designed to strengthen the ties that bind pets to their owners. With the help of the community, PACC published a successful report for the fiscal year 2023–24 that highlighted the efforts made to protect these valued animal-human interactions. PACC’s initiatives are designed to actively address the issues that many pet owners have, particularly in the area of reasonably priced veterinary care, using a compassionate and pragmatic viewpoint.
According to PACC’s official announcement, the clinic team has successfully completed 547 free spay and neuter surgeries and given out 1,461 free vaccines as part of their effort to make these crucial treatments more widely available. The goal has been to significantly increase reach, with a focus on historically underserved and rural regions. As a result of PACC’s practical approach, the Pet Support Center was able to respond to more than 50,000 calls from locals seeking assistance, creating a lifeline for those who are struggling and still love their pets.
Offering financial assistance to pet owners overwhelmed by the mounting medical expenditures for their furry companions, the Keeping Families Together fund stands out as a ray of light. Alongside it is the Safety Net foster program, which offers canines short-term shelter while their human counterparts work through the choppy waters of personal catastrophe. As a result, a touching total of almost 1,500 pets have managed to stay in their families rather than suffer the heartbreaking fate of being given up and being separated.
PACC understands that having the right supplies can sometimes make the difference between a pet remaining at home and being turned in. As a result, PACC has started giving away necessities like pet food, litter, and microchips at different community gatherings. “In the 2023-24 fiscal year, PACC hosted 50 community events where we provided free pet food, essential care supplies like crates, cat litter, and puppy pads, microchips, and collars with custom ID tags,” according to their report for the fiscal year. The results of the previous year have shown an encouraging picture of ongoing commitment and creativity in animal welfare, even as PACC gets ready to say goodbye to their director, Monica Dangler.
The report demonstrates the commitment of PACC’s employees and more than 1,000 volunteers, whose ceaseless work helped 10,607 pets find new, loving homes in addition to keeping families together. The legacy of Dangler’s four years of leadership is simmering in the innumerable tales of friendship that have been saved and fostered under PACC’s care as she gets ready to join Outcomes for Pets Consulting.
