While I was waiting to pick her up, a guy walked in with a small black pup. Looked like it could've been a black lab/chihuahua mix, maybe 6 months old. Great-lookin' dog.

Dude found him wandering yesterday, no chip. So he wanted to adopt the little guy.👍 That dog was already sold on his new person, trusted him totally from what I could see.
Callin' him Hector, he said.
Yeah! 🤘

#PACC

New "Could-Be Pal" alert incoming. 📰

This is Ren. He's 5 years old and 147 pounds and desperately needs care and understanding from a buddy to help get him down to his high school rasslin weight again.

If you've read anything I've written before about anything, you should be damn surprised by my restraint towards judgment of his previous owners here.

This dog loves.

He's on the short-list for euthanasia set for the 12th of August.

This snuggly barcalounger of a beautiful lady ain't got no family hotels to stay in, and she needs a home real dang bad.
About 3 years, 85lbs.

Paris Hilton has been at the shelter since last Sept. That incredible smiling pic is when we had snow in March I'm guessing.

Just let her crash on your couch for the next buncha years and you'll be golden. 🥰

Love her!

She needs a secure yard, no cats or other small pets.

Okay, dog fans.
Timber is a super-sweet and very sharp pooch that needs a little bit of extra care and all the love ya got.

He's about 6, a shepherd mix. Around 55lbs.

I mistook his name as referring to Timber, Snake Eye's wolf from GI Joe. Looks just like him to me. 🤘

But it's a little less awesomely dorky than that.
Timber has a condition that causes him to pause and fall over at random times. Not a lot but it's a thing.

So, yeah...😳 🥰

Dammit.
Dusty met a possible person, but their dogs did not like him. He reacted well though.

Also, fuck.
We went into #PACC just 4 days ago, and they had about 320 dogs.

They adopted out around 100 through Monday. That's fantastic!

But guess what, #PACC now has 456 and are expecting 50+ to be taken-in by the end of today.

One step forward, three steps back.

What the fuck, Tucson. 😡
Get your shit together and take care'a ya bizness!

Also, also, go meet Paris Hilton! She's the best!

It was very busy when we were there. Lots of dogs and cats were finding homes.

It's a free-licensing weekend at #PACC so that drew people in.

Daphne no longer smells like all of the butts!😊
She got a 6am shower and did just fine.

So I'm not just a goddamn pusher-man. 😉

Headed to #PACC today hoping to add a new pal to our home for goons, and make one more tiny light shine a little brighter where we can. 😊

And if you do adopt, accept the responsibility of loving that animal forever.

My wife went after work today and met a bunch of the dogs at #PACC. She said Ghost is a sweet boy who just needs a person or a family to give him positive attention and put a little time into training.

Folks in #Tucson & surrounding.😃
Summer isn't ideal for considering adopting a pet. It's easier to think about when it's cooler and our very marrow isn't being sucked out from our sun-ravaged pores.

There are a ton of amazing dogs at the #PACC shelter NOW that would immensely benefit your life with just the smallest amount of love & understanding. And when you give it all to them, it's immeasurable.

Please consider changing a small life forever by mixing it into your own.

Hutch and Molly amaze me more daily and love unceasingly.

They were abandoned. We adopted each from #PACC, who do all they can for life and love, and they never have enough to do it.

#PACC is hoping to adopt-out 200 dogs _this weekend_.
That's because they know that, in addition to the people abandoning dogs daily, with 4th of July coming, hundreds more dogs will run away scared from all the fireworks and gunshots, and end up in the shelter.

Go get #dogs!🥰

#AdoptDontShop #NoFireworks

@billyjoebowers

He's got sweet eyes!

Go check 'em all out, folks! #PACC has something for everyone.
Dogs define love.

#AdoptDontShop

With the 4th of July coming up a lot of selfish jerks will be shooting of fireworks, and #PACC is likely to take in 200-300 runaway dogs then.

Keep your pets inside.
And if you don't have one, go adopt one or three and keep them inside until the Sunday after the 4th when all the desert crackerjacks are finally hungover enough and out of Roman candles.

@billyjoebowers

Go to #PACC! Go to #PACC!
Go to the shelter in your city, wherever you are.
So much love to be found.

They are so overburdened by abandoned pets. I know it's rough and we have the highest inflation in the nation in AZ, and taking care of animals is tough. But we all need partners to get through our lives, and a dog will always be there for you as long as you love them.

Molly and Hutch cost us a grand total of $35 to adopt. I wouldn't trade either or both for any amount.

PACC-contest summary. Ran our clubcall PI4VLB. FTDX101D, 50W, Chameleon Ampas 2 w/extended whip, 626 QSO's.

How's it going with #cqcontest in #rtty you ask? Even if you don't ask, I gonna tell anyway.
Usually I do fast snappy CW contesting. RTTY is soooo slloooowww.
Usually I have a beefy kW amp running. I decided to go barefoot, rig at 90W out. Moohahaaa...
Usually the yagi is between 15m and 21m AGL. I left the tower down so the tribander sits only 8m high.
'nuff said?
And I worked 11 Dutch(wo)men in the #pacc contest on 28MHz.
Support the ham radio contest scene!
#greatesthobbyintheworld

10m was amazing this afternoon, worked via the long path a few Indonesian stations. #hamr #pacc

We will be running the PACC contest today starting at 12 UTC with the call PI4D from the PI4DEC club station. Our mode of operation will be MO2T (D1). On the Veron website you can find the regulations for the PACC contest. Our exchange code will be ZH since we operate from Dordrecht in the province Zuid Holland. #pacc #veron #hamr https://www.veron.nl/vereniging/commissies-en-werkgroepen/traffic-bureau/hf-contesten/pacc-contest/

@TucsonSentinel

Awful. 😔
We picked up both of our current dogs from #PACC
Amazing characters who've added so much to our lives. Plopped down a whopping $15 for Molly, and twenty-bucks for Hutch, and wouldn't sell either for a billion. 🤩
I hope the shelter can weather this with best results. Sounds scary.

And I wish #Tucsonans would stop getting animals they can't and/or won't take care of.

#AdoptDontShop

Lookit that! That's gold, baby! 🥰
