Director Update - All in a Day's Work

Pinal County Animal Care and Control was one of many agencies that came together to assist DPS with a search warrant in the City of Coolidge related to a cockfighting investigation. Since the City of Coolidge has only one animal control officer, PCACC partnered with The Humane Society of Phoenix to gather all the animals on the property while DPS and other police agencies collected evidence for their case.


The Humane Society handled the roosters, and PCACC handled all of the hens; A total of 154 hens and 8 bunnies were impounded. Fortunately, the hens left within seven days, but we still have the bunnies in our care. They have been spayed and neutered, and are available for fee-waived adoption. If you are interested, please reach out to our adoption coordinators." - Audra Michael, Animal Care and Control Director.

December Volunteer Spotlight - Tom and Brenda Poupa

Tom and Brenda Poupa have been faithfully walking dogs for the past 8-9 months, 2-3 times each week. They volunteered for a shelter in Indiana, also as dedicated dog walkers.


It was a Facebook post about our dog walking program at PCACC, that brought them our way, and we couldn't be more grateful. Tom and Brenda are a retired couple who enjoy meeting the dogs and getting their steps in! They both said the most rewarding part about dog walking is when the dogs they've come to know find their furever home. It was a bittersweet day when they found out their favorite boy, Tex, had found his family!


When they are not walking PCACC pups, Tom and Brenda have a shared passion for classic cars. Some days, you can find one of their beautifully maintained classics parked outside PCACC. Tom has been teaching Brenda engine work, and she lends a hand on their car projects. They always come in with a warm smile. While they are waiting for the next dog to walk, you can find them organizing and straightening the volunteer booth and helping wherever needed. We are more than lucky to have them! 

Pinal Pup of the Month - Meet Puppy

Puppy has been with us for almost a full year now, having arrived at the shelter in December of 2024. His owner was notified that he was with us, but unfortunately, did not come and pick him up. He came in with another dog and seems uninterested in other dogs as he walks by their kennels. He is a senior and likes his walks and getting love from volunteers. He needs a loving home to spend his twilight years.


Give this sweet boy the chance he’s been dreaming of — he’s ready to fill your life with love, laughter, and endless cuddles!
