Story
Piper was the main character in the show Orange is the New Black…not that we`re comparing kennel life to prison life. I mean sure, there are some similarities… you spend most of your time indoors with a couple of daily exercise breaks, you don`t get to choose your roommate, and the food can be a bit monotonous. But, you don`t have to wear orange! In fact most of the inmates don`t wear any clothes at all, because, you know… they`re dogs. Also, you don`t have to break the law to end up in the shelter- Piper certainly didn`t! To top it all off, Piper can leave anytime- she just needs to find a family first! #FreePiperPiper was originally adopted through a rescue group and was in a home for about a year and half before first coming to the shelter in 2022. She was housebroken in that home and would politely bork when she needed to be let out to do her business. She slept at the foot of her people`s bed and they told us that she loves attention, and to run and play fetch. Her only request is that she not be disturbed while sleeping- a girl needs her beauty rest!! Piper was adopted, but then her family moved, so she’s back on the search for her happily ever after. In her adoptive home, she was described as affectionate, playful, friendly and cuddly. She was also housebroken and crate trained and reportedly did well with kids. In a long-term foster home Piper did well with multiple young kids and was described as happy and affectionate. She was again housebroken and slept near her foster person at night.Piper also has many fans at the shelter- here’s what they’ve had to say:“Piper is a sweet and smart girl and I love taking her out. She’s attentive and makes great eye contact. She’s a great pup.”“I adore Piper. She is so incredibly sweet, easy to handle, fun to spend time with- just an all-around very good girl. She is great with other dogs and staff even uses her to help evaluate new dogs, so she seems like she would easily fit into most any family. Piper is still playful at seven years old, but I suspect would also love lots of nap time on the couch. Someone will be so lucky to add her to their family!”Piper shares her kennel and has been social, tolerant, and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. She may do best in a home without small dogs. Ask to meet Piper today!!

Story
CENSUS DEADLINE 5PM 12/10/24Name: SandyAnimal ID: A820935Age: 3 years Weight: 57 lbs. About: Sandy is an energetic, happy young dog who is looking for his forever home. He spent close to a year in a foster home before returning to the shelter and we learned the following:- He lived with another dog and did great - He was housebroken - He is an active, playful pup who will benefit from training and structure - He is well- behaved when left home alone, snoozing the day away- He is smart, alert, and curious - He is sweet and loves to be with his people- He loves toys- He loves to runSandy will thrive in an active household with owners who can provide him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He`s a smart and eager-to-please dog who will benefit from training and positive reinforcement.Here’s what one volunteer at the shelter said:“I have a thing for brown dogs and Sandy fits the bill. He is the whole package in my eyes. We walk in the desert together, with no pulling or jumpiness. I find him to be such a nice walker. He turns to me now and then looking for a treat, but I tell him to keep walking and he continues on. I haven`t seen any reactivity or mouthiness from him any time I have had him out. He`s actually one of the most enjoyable walks of my night. I find Sandy to be an awesome companion and thoroughly enjoy any time I can spend with him.”While Sandy can be good with other dogs his size and larger, he has a high prey drive and should not be in a home with cats or small animals. He`s also prone to destructive behavior when bored or stressed, so crate training and plenty of enrichment are essential. Due to an old fracture from when he first came to the shelter, Sandy will need joint supplements to keep him comfortable for life. Sandy is a wonderful dog who deserves a loving and patient family. Please ask about how you can help Sandy! Available for foster care or adoption through PACC.Adoption Process:Interested parties:• Must visit PACC before the 5:00 PM December 10, 2024, deadline to meet with an adoption or foster counselor who will go over notes and then introduce you to ensure that it’s a good fit.

Story
Peaches is a 7-year-old pup who’s mastered the art of balance: part adventure-buddy, part professional napper. She’s equally happy going for walks, runs, or backyard toy chases (fetch is still a work in progress) as she is flopping onto the couch for some quality cuddle time.Peaches loves people of all ages, but would be best with older kids who can recognize when she needs a little personal space. She can be a bit shy around new faces at first but quickly warms up with some reassurance from her person. She is perfectly housebroken however and is a quiet and very polite houseguest with her foster. This quirky girl has a few standout moves that are guaranteed to make you smile, like flopping onto her back with her favorite toy or turning into a full-blown wiggle machine when you come home. She’s a treat enthusiast (her Kong is a favorite!) and a perfect mix of busy bee and couch potato. While Peaches doesn’t know many commands just yet, she’s a quick learner and understands when she’s invited to share the bed or politely asked to hop off. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who’ll join you for adventures and movie marathons alike, Peaches is your girl!Here is an update from her foster home: “Peaches, also known as Miss Peach, has made incredible progress in our home. When she first met us, she was a bit shy and liked to keep to herself. Now, she has no fear asking for snuggles or sharing her sense of humor. She is an active girl who loves to chase after toys, play tug of war, and go for daily walks or runs. For a 7 year old, she definitely has some pep in her step! She is the absolute perfect mix between a certified snuggle buddy and accountability partner who will keep you on track with getting your steps in. Peaches favorite place in the world is the park. We visit almost daily so she can get her sniffs in. Though she she prefers to be the only dog, she likes to mind her own business and is easy to direct to a clear path when other pups come near. All she needs is a friend who has her back and can help her steer clear of incoming dogs! Peaches has brought so much joy, laughter, and love into our lives. She had that doggy intuition of when you may need some extra love after a hard day or a big helping of laughter. We absolutely adore her, and know you will too”
