Your generous donation helps pets in need in our community. Thank you for your support as we continue our lifesaving efforts during the COVID-19 crisis.

“This match is an incredible opportunity for donors to increase their life-saving impact. Petco Foundation’s generous support will make it possible for Friends of PACC to respond to the evolving needs of our community and its pets during this crisis,” said Tammi Barrick, Board Chair at Friends of PACC. 

The Petco Foundation matching grant will help Pima Animal Care Center maintain and extend its lifesaving work during these challenging times. 

“Thanks to the support of this community, we’ve been able to continue and even create new programs to help pet owners in need,” says Kristen Hassen, Director of Animal Services at PACC. “We are here to help and these donations go a long way. So far, we’ve been able to supply food, medicine, even lifesaving surgery. We’d love to be able to continue this type of meaningful work.” 

Friends of PACC relies on grants and individual donations to support the life-saving work of the shelter. In response to COVID-19, Pima Animal Care Center has modified its operations to meet the immediate and evolving needs of pets and the people who love them.

With the majority of pets now living in PACC-supported foster homes, the shelter can focus resources on continuing to help pets and people with emergent needs. This includes injured strays, abandoned kittens, neglect and abuse cases, and more. It also includes an effort to support families impacted by COVID-19, whether from job loss or health challenges. PACC's goal is to keep pets in their homes by providing owners in need with pet food, supplies, and even limited veterinary care. 

We need your help to ensure these critical resources can continue and expand, reaching as many pets and people as possible.

This grant is part of the Petco Foundation’s Pledge to Save Pet Lives during this COVID-19 crisis by distributing $1M in product and cash donations and putting out a national call to implore animal lovers to take action to help save animal lives. This commitment follows the Petco Foundation’s recent distribution of more than $13M to animal welfare ­organizations nationwide.   

“Animal welfare organizations are facing the business impacts of COVID-19, just like many other businesses during this crisis. But when your business is saving animal lives, the consequences of a business failure are devastating,” said Petco Foundation President, Susanne Kogut. “At the Petco Foundation, we will support our partner’s most critical needs during this time and help mobilize the public to take action to help save animal lives. We hope this matching grant support will help Friends of PACC do just that.” 

The Petco Foundation is committed to supporting their animal welfare partners’ most critical needs as they face the dual responsibilities of protecting human health and saving animal lives through the COVID-19 crisis to ensure that every pets gets the chance to live their best life.
