Meet Sofia, one of our younger helpers! Sofia comes to read during our Paws and Pages program, and she says she has a magic touch to get the dogs out, as most of the dogs she reads to get adopted quickly!

If you're looking for a way to help shelter animals and catch up on your to-be-read list at the same time, consider coming to read to our dogs during our public Paws and Pages program! We host this event every Wednesday and Thursday from 5-7 p.m., and it's a crowd favorite, especially among some of our younger helpers! Seeing the dogs visibly calm down and settle in for a story is a truly moving experience 💙 🐶🐶

“Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult it is…life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you.”
Pope Francis

Rhino Man - is the true story of the courageous field rangers who risk their lives every day to protect South Africa's rhinos from being poached to extinction. It’s a story of friendship, of love, and of loss, filled with real humans who are determined to leave the world a better place.

HSSA is thrilled to announce Dr. Kristin Barney as our new CEO! She will officially begin May 13th. 🥳

She previously participated in Best Friends Animal Society's national shelter embed program, spending a year at Tulsa (OK) Animal Welfare. There, she collaborated with city officials and community partners to implement best practices that improved animal rescue rates. Most recently, she served as senior director of lifesaving programs at Best Friends, working with animal welfare professionals across the western U.S. From 2014 to 2016, she held the position of chief of operations at Pima Animal Care Center, a key HSSA partner.

Dr. Barney is a change management expert and frequent national speaker on animal welfare leadership. She holds an EdD in organizational leadership from Pepperdine University and a master's degree in administration from Northern Arizona University.

"I am incredibly excited to take on this role," Dr. Barney said. "HSSA has an 80-year legacy of service, and I believe the organization is poised to be a visionary leader in animal welfare. We will set new trends and build collaborative environments to implement the best practices in the nation."

Here are this week's adoptable pets going on Jersey's Journeys to find their forever homes! They're all up for adoption at Pima Animal Care Center.
- King is an adult husky mix. This sweet boy loves to go on hikes and long walks, and does great on a leash. He's very well trained and completely housebroken. He's curious and friendly, and can't wait to find his forever home. He's also definitely ready for summer, as he's shedding his coat big time!
- Gary is an adult tan and white pit mix. Somehow, he has been at PACC for almost a year! It doesn't make any sense, because he's a super friendly, super playful boy, who rolled right over onto our feet to ask for belly rubs. He's got a great smile, and is so friendly, he came right up to us to show off how much of a lovebug he is.
- Tubb is a 10-year-old long haired brown tabby cat. This gentle, kind boy just loves to be loved. He's looking for a lap where he can curl up and gets lots of ear scratches, before he lounges out for a nice long nap.
- Simon is a 12-year-old white and gray tabby cat. He's a super social friendly boy, who wants nothing more than for you to pet him and love on him. He loves attention and will make it known! He does have diabetes, but he takes his insulin really well, so he's looking for a home that will spoil him.
