We happen to be suckers for Fajita Friday! Here’s what some other fans of Fajita Friday had to say: “Who doesn’t like Fajita Friday?! Super easy walker, sniffer extraordinaire, non-reactive, sits well and a super sweet and beautiful black dog.” “Fajita Friday is a gentle and sweet boy! He’s a little cautious of new people at first, but if he sees that you are safe, kind and gentle, he will snuggle in for affection! I had him in a play yard today and he started to open up in a short amount of time. I know he’d love to get outta the shelter and into a quiet and comfy home. He is a darling boy!” Fajita Friday shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Whether you stuff your fajitas with carnitas, shrimp, chicken or fresh grilled veggies, there’s a plate for every palate. Our Fajita Friday is a lovely pup who is also universally likeable! Ask to meet him today! Fajita Friday is now looking for placement with a partner rescue in a home with no other dogs and no children. Adoption Process: All interested parties must meet the dog at PACC before their deadline. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with. Once introductions are complete and if the IP has decided this dog may be a good fit, the process is as follows: Interested parties: Must visit PACC before the COB Wednesday April 22nd, 2026 deadline to meet with an adoption counselor who will go over notes and introduce you to the dog. Are encouraged to reach out to a rescue group ASAP (even before coming to PACC), to start the rescue approval process. Please have the rescue contact PACC at PACC.UrgentDogs@pima.gov if approved to pull. If an IP has not already contacted a rescue, PACC will notify all partnered rescue groups of an interested party and request their assistance. Once you have come to PACC to meet with the dog and determined that you’d like to move forward, your information will be sent to partnered rescue groups. If a rescue group is interested and feels they may be able to pull, they will then reach out to IPs. Collaboration with Rescue Groups: Rescue groups are encouraged to reach out to PACC immediately if they will pull this animal into their rescue (and if there are requirements: Interested adoptive party, spay/neuter if not already completed, etc.) Rescue groups are encouraged to start their adoption process with any interested parties who have contacted them directly and email PACC at PACC.UrgentDogs@pima.gov. Please note that it is ultimately up to the rescue group's discretion to decide whether to proceed with adoption. Home Management Plan 1.
