The Pima Animal Care Center is currently running a "name your own price" adoption promotion.

According to a news release from PACC, the facility is currently home to 700 animalsΒ β€” 431 dogs, 243 cats, and 26 other animals.Β 

The "name your own price" special begins today and will run through Sunday, Sept. 2. The price will cover the pet's spay or neuter surgery, a microchip, vaccinations, and a free vet visit.

There is still a $19 licensing fee if you're looking for a dog, however.
