This year, Friends of PACC is dedicating its efforts to a cause that promises to change lives—not just for pets but for our community. Introducing the Spay/Neuter Support project, a new approach to managing the pet population and ensuring that every pet receives the love and care it deserves.

Inspired by the great work previously done by local non-profit Spay Neuter Solutions, Friends of PACC’s Spay/Neuter Support project, nicknamed SNS, is a long-term, systemic means to address chronic overpopulation at PACC and Pima County shelters. SNS will offer access to affordable spay/neuter surgeries for those who need them most. Spay/Neuter is a safe and effective means to avoid unwanted litters and reduce certain health risks for cats and dogs. This makes it an impactful method to help reduce shelter animal intake and euthanasia.

🎯 Our Goal

This year, we've set an ambitious target of $85,000 for Arizona Gives Day. Your early donation not only gives us a head start but also counts towards our total goal, amplifying our impact, qualifying us for fundraising incentives based on how much we raise, and extending our reach to more pets in need.

🤝 How You Can Make a Difference

• Donate Early: Starting now, your contributions will fuel our efforts to offer affordable spay/neuter services, making a direct impact.

• Spread the Word: Share our mission with friends, family, and co-workers. Every share, conversation, and email broadens our community of support.

• Become an Advocate: Engage with us on social media, share our stories, and encourage others to join this vital cause.

🤓 Stay Engaged on Arizona Gives Day (April 2, 2024)

On Arizona Gives Day, expect to receive three key emails from us, each offering unique insights into the SNS project and the critical difference your support makes. Additionally, we invite you to follow us on social media. Engage with our content to understand the significance of this issue and the profound impact of your donation. Like and share to get the word out!

🐶😽❤️🐾 Ready to Change Lives?

Your support is more than a donation—it's a lifeline. Together, we can tackle pet overpopulation at its root, ensuring a brighter future for pets and the families who love them. Visit our donation page to make your contribution and learn more about the SNS project.
