Thyme

Age: 3 years
Story: Thyme is a super friendly, energetic, playful guy. He's the best when it comes to playing fetch and will do it all day long! He's young and active and looking for a family who will include him in their adventures.

Romie
ID No.: A777068
Age: 1 year
Story: Romie is a gentle fellow who is always happy to get leashed up, go for a walk, sniff all the smells, and check out all the sights around the shelter. Volunteers love taking this handsome pup for walk and say he's calm and has good leash manners. When Romie first arrived at PACC, he was a little on the shy side but has made leaps and bounds with the help of his volunteer friends. Now, he looks forward to his daily walks and is playful and goofy with his pals.

He loves rolling in the grass, posing for pictures, and eating hot dogs. This handsome pup is sweet, easygoing, and likes relaxing with a tennis ball to chew. Saul has had a couple of different kennelmates at PACC and has been playful and social when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He would love to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure it's a good fit.

Dodge
Age: 8 years
Story: This beautiful panther is looking for a home where he can be the only pet. Dodge was adopted as a kitten but didn't get along with the small dog that came to the house after he did; so he returned to the shelter. Dodge is a big boy who would do best in a calm house with one or two adults, no small children. He is sweet, affectionate and likes to follow people around rubbing on their legs and will curl up on a lap.
Fee: $99, includes neuter, microchip and appropriate shots

Leon
ID No.: A773586
Age: 6 years
Story: Leon is a handsome middle-aged gentleman who would much rather spend his days at the beach or on a cruise ship than at PACC.

It's really easy to love this boy, and someone looking for an easygoing companion will be so lucky to have him.

Carroll
Age: 9 years
Story: This pretty girl was recently returned due to a hardship in her family. She’s getting settled into the Weight Management room, because she is a little, ahem-fluffy, and needs to be on special food to help her lose a little weight. She likes to hang out and watch the goings on, and generally is a chill and relaxed kitty. She gets along with other kitties, but may not be a good feline companion for a dog. She likes people, and will bat her eyes at you to beg for the treats she’s not allowed to have—yet! Come meet this precious girl, and see if she doesn’t steal your heart.

Princess
ID No.: A768227
