A recent surge of incoming dogs with contagious diseases has prompted PACC to implement emergency-only intake.

Jamie Donnelly The Pima Animal Care Center is limiting intake for one week due to an increase in infectious diseases among dogs.

“Diseased dogs coming into PACC are overwhelmingly unvaccinated,” Wilcox said in the news release. “This puts all the dogs in our care, particularly those who are stressed, at serious risk of illness. Creating what is called a ‘clean break’ is the only way we can sufficiently contain disease and prevent euthanizing otherwise adoptable pets.

The best way for people to protect their pets and pets across the county is to make sure they are kept-up-to date on vaccines, Monica Dangler, the director of animal services said.
