East side PACC Adoption Center

For decades, families in this area have lacked convenient access to pet adoption services. Your gift brings this long-awaited resource closer to home and helps open a space where more pets can meet their families in a calm, welcoming environment. Friends of Pima Animal Care Center is rallying our community to help launch the East side PACC Adoption Center (EPAC).

Why This New Adoption Site Matters

The East side PACC Adoption Center, opening March 2026 at Broadway & Kolb, will make pet adoption more accessible for thousands of families while easing crowding at the main shelter. The 5,382 sq. ft. space will accommodate up to 50 pets at a time and is expected to support 2,000–2,400 adoptions each year.

By providing a calmer, low-stress environment where pets can meet adopters, the new site will help more families find their perfect match and help pets get home faster across all of Pima County.

A First Look Inside the New Adoption Center

Renovations are underway, and we’re excited to share a first glimpse of the progress inside the new east-side adoption center. This early look shows how the former office suite is being transformed into a warm, functional space designed for pets and the families who will meet them here.
