PACC911 focuses on providing venues for large joint adoption functions. These well attended events create an ideal opportunity for the animal welfare groups to gain exposure for their organizations and the services they provide, while offering the animals needing to be re-homed a new chance to be seen. These venues also enable the groups the chance to educate the unknowing public about key issues, such as the need to spay and neuter pets as a means of reducing pet euthanasia.

PACC911 & Anthem Animal Extravaganza & Adopt-A-Thon
Saturday, January 30th 10am - 3pm
Anthem Community Park, Gavilan Peak Parkway MapFlyer Over 50 rescues in attendance and crowds throughout the day! A RECORD 159 adoptions and County almost emptied their entire bus! A great day for all! A NOTE OF THANKS ~
I think your organization is amazing for getting together these rescues and formulating such incredible adoptathons throughout the valley!
We adopted our two girls 2 years ago from the Anthem adoptathon, Daisy and Annabelle, and our inviting them into our home and lives was a seamless transition. We just went to Anthem a week and a half ago, and started the adoption on Sampson from Cooper's Chance Rescue. He was rescued from a horrific hoarding situation in Eager, AZ in October, being rehabilitated by his foster mom, Pam and her husband Ty. She brought Sam over to our house a week ago and although he is timid still and very nervous due to all the trauma in his young life, it has been a wonderful process bringing him into our home.
Without your adoptathons, it is much more difficult to see how a dog and his/her personality may mesh with one's life. We already have two females, so we wanted to see if there would be personality conflict. THANK YOU for creating these opportunities which help people like us (with our current doggies) to find beautiful souls (like Sam) to bring home. My husband and I are forever appreciative!
A thousand thank yous (and many doggie treats) ~ Barb and Eric Lee, Daisy and Annabelle and... Sampson the Great

We REALLY appreciate the management at Mesa Riverview.The fact that Mesa Riverview has embraced animals and adoption events on their property is a big deal, as many other businesses/properties do not. We are thankful they are willing to "give dogs a chance." Huge thanks to Cinemark and Sandy and Gary Mittendorf for organizing this event. In fact, PACC911 was the ONLY organization in the country to jump on this opportunity to have animals at the showing of the "Hotel for Dogs" movie. It was a wonderful opportunity to raise public awareness about rescue and to show off our wonderful rescue dogs. We even had 2 adoption applications!
Anthem Event Saturday, January 31st 10am - 3pm Anthem Community Park, Galivan Peak Parkway MapFlyer
The 5th annual Anthem event , once again was a huge success, especially for the many animals who were adopted that day, or as a result of that day! The Gavilan Peak Park was filled to capacity with tents and wagging tails as over 45 groups converged and set up their areas. Many vendors also were on site to make the day more fun with some new and interesting booths to see and shop at! Starbucks gave out complimentary coffees to those chilled by early morning arrivals! We were very appreciative! The PACC911 staff and volunteers sported their new black and silver t shirts as they busied themselves with raffle sales, store sales and set up. They are now very easy to spot on locations!
We are always thankful for the good crowds that come to our Anthem event, either to adopt or to just learn about Rescue and PACC911. This year was no exception as the community filled the parking area and supported our cause. As always, there were follow up adoptions still happening a week later, bringing our total to 60 lives saved.
As always, we thank the management of Anthem for having us, and we also thank our great volunteer staff for all the hard work that goes into each adoption day that we do. We look forward to keeping Anthem an annual event!

by a mile due in great part to the wonderful publicity generated by our partner The McRae agency represented by Nicole Traynor and her team. You could barely turn on the TV this week without seeing PACC911 and the precious animals from our Pet Partners!! We had spots on channel 12, channel 5 and Fox 10 including coverage from the event itself last night. We had an amazing 67 adoptions for the day. All the groups were so pleased with the setup (wonderful shade all day) and the traffic. It was a stress free environment with everyone's needs being met from parting gifts (Petco and local merchants) to splash pools for the pups. Through the McRae group,the local merchants contributed wonderful certificates and items for 2 raffle drawings which earned our EMF $203. The PACC store earned another $150 and the blow up jumping structure provided by a MRV merchant another $50 in contributions..so a $400 day in total!

Thank you all for a wonderful event yesterday in Fountain Hills! Our wonderful hosts ADOG and the Town of Fountain Hills provided a perfect venue and support for a successful Sunday in the park for the animals. Jack Combs was a fun DJ keeping us rockin' to the oldies and supporting Bari in her many duties on the mic. Sheriff Joe was a big hit and brought much applause for his stand on animal cruelty issues. He stayed for a long time autographing pink boxers,handcuffs and posters.
We had a total of 62 adoptions which is wonderful for our 1st time in this venue...the potential for growth is huge with the entire park as our setting. ADOG and the merchants of Fountain Hills provided us with our most successful raffle ever with total proceeds of $748!! The store and donations added $289 to the EMF as well. Thanks to Jack Russell Rescue,Sandy,Gary and their crew, and all their hard work we received another $100 donation and the public had a ball with their Lure Course. This ,of course ,doesn't include donations from Sheriff Joe's signed merchandise and Bruno's Sports Bar and Grill, etc. and sales realized by our individual Pet Partners.
I hope all our Pet Partners had a great day in each of their endeavors. You were patient and cooperative with the single road in and out and created a wonderful atmosphere for education and adoption.

What a great day this was for the Animals and for all of us at PACC911! The event was the best ever at the ranch and we are so appreciative!! We loved the closer configuration of the tents giving all the groups access to all the foot traffic. The music was festive and upbeat and the time we were given to spotlight animals was productive and did make a big difference! I do believe the emphasis on marketing the adoptions paid off...in the past we seemed to do about 30 or so adoptions at this event but today we not only met the goal of 50 adoptions but, in fact, we exceeded it! We ended the day with a whooping 51 wagging tails going to new homes! (Actually, that included at least one beautiful meow...) This was far and away our best number for our seven year partnership! The raffle with matching funds is awesome. We look forward to adding that substantial and generous donation to our Emergency Medical Fund , Helping more animals to mend and find homes. Again our sincere thanks to all of you at DC RANCH for holding this great annual event, for all the hard work you put into it, and for your shared love and compassion for the animals!

We successfully adopted out a total of approx 240 animals for the 2 day event. We are thrilled with these wonderful adoption numbers, and hope that the aftermath leads to even more animals finding loving homes... which it often does. Thanks to all who helped in the many ways that you each contributed!!! Many of us witnessed a touching finale as an older brown shepherd mix, Lady, who won our hearts, finally was adopted at the final hour of the day... we shed a few tears over that one.. and consider the day extra special because of this. Susan Rene, local artist and friend who donated a beautiful original work of art which was used for the t shirts that the Casa produced, was on site with husband Bill the entire 2 days helping to raise money for PACC911 by selling her wonderful prints. Then she topped off the day by adopting little Oscar... a precious poodle from the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control! The dog wash was busy cleaning dirty pooches, the blessing was busy and successful and we all had a wonderful time!!! I made an appearance on channel 5 on Friday morning prior to the event and had 5 adoptable animals with me from Mixed up Mutts and Finding Fido -all of these adorable characters found new homes, including a blind shi tzu and a handicapped kitty! Channel 5 later came to the event on Sat and ran a great spot which promoted our Sunday adoption day. Things went well and we are thankful and tired today. Jim, Dan, Rachel and all from the Casa did such a great job promoting the event and putting their part together. Thank you all! We love this event and enjoy working with the great people at the Casa. Thank you all again for your help and support. For the Animals... Bari Mears PACC911

The Prominade Corporate Center Amphitheatre Area 16427 & 16435 N Scottsdale Rd (at the Promenade at Frank Lloyd Wright)
What a beautiful day we had on Saturday Nov 11th for our KPMG adoption event! The location was lovely and perfect for the 30 groups who attended. The groups commented on the location and really loved it. The day resulted in 25 total adoptions that we know of. I say that because there were quite a few that were going to be followed up at county and with several other groups,we hope to hear an even increased number as days go by. But 25 is a great number for an event competing with Nascar and the many other things going on in our busy city! As always, there were touching stories with some tears shed as a once homeless lonely dog with tail down walks off proudly with tail awaggin! He knows he has been chosen. Such was the case with No-Name, a Bengie type dog who now I am certain has a name and a great home! Our thanks to our fantastic partners at KPMG for the hard work and planning they put into this event, our 5th Annual with them. Raffle prizes were great and garnered much interest, the bake sale was yummy, and the help they provided the rescue groups with their many volunteers was incredible. We thank you KPMG, for choosing us to partner with for 5 years and counting!
