Volunteer
Volunteers are an essential part of saving pets at PACC. In 2022, 1137 volunteers donated 88,017 hours—that’s the equivalent of over 42.32 full-time staff members! We simply could not save as many lives without them. At the shelter, there are volunteer opportunities for everyone! We are always looking for dog walkers, cat socializers, administrative help, and more! To learn more and apply today, click here.
Friends of PACC also has occasional volunteer opportunities for tabling at events and administrative work. Please fill out this form to join us.
Foster
Can’t adopt? Still want to make a huge difference in the life of a shelter pet? You should foster!
You can take a foster pet home for as little as an afternoon to as long as several months depending on your lifestyle and the pet’s needs. Fostering a pet in your own home gives them a much-needed break from the shelter. As a foster parent for a homeless pet you will get to see him or her blossom in a home environment and learn valuable information about the pet’s personality and behavior—information that will ultimately make the pet more adoptable once they return to the shelter.
We are always in need of fosters for pets of all types, ages, size, and medical needs. Please click the button below to learn more about fostering and how you can save a life!
Adopt
They say you can’t buy love, but we know you can adopt it when you open your home to a shelter pet in need. Homeless pets are grateful, loving companions that bring joy and enrichment to our lives. With over 19,000 pets coming into PACC every year, there is an endless variety of cats, dogs, and more that are waiting to meet you right now!
