VOLUNTEER

We match homeless, deserving cats and dogs with families like yours.

We have a companion animal for your family! We listen to your needs and desires in a companion animal. Since we are a foster-based rescue, we know our dogs and cats personalities. We can suggest any compatible adoptable cats or dogs in our care. We have a high success rate with our adoptions. This is partially due to our application process where we strive to connect with our adopters and suggest an animal for their lifestyle. We also allow our adopters animals meet the potential new family member to set up chances for success. We support or animals and offer support for them for life if the need arises.

Dolly does very well with cats and loves watching them, but she never…

Meet Sophie the sassy poodle mix. Sophie is alot of fun and loves to walk and play. Sophie given to PACA after her owners no longer wanted her. Sophie had horrible eye infections and it was discovered she had entropion (eyelashes that curled inward) which is very painful. PACA had the corrective surgery done for her eyes and she is ready for adoption. Due to the constant infections & pain, and probably frustration from her past owners in administering the eye drops, Sophie has developed a fear of having her eyes and feet touched. However, Sophie is making incredible progress…
