Paws hitting the pavement Feb. 19 for Pets of Pima Parade
Join Pima Animal Care Center, Friends of PACC, and a variety of four-legged friends for a one-of-a-kind celebration of Pima County’s pets Feb. 19 along Historic Fourth Avenue. In addition to hundreds of animals, the Tucson Subaru Pets of Pima Parade will feature bands, floats, entertainers, costumed characters, classic vehicles, and more. District 3 Supervisor Sharon Bronson will serve as the Parade’s Grand Marshal. Board Chair Adelita Grijalva will greet parade-goers from the shelter’s new PACCMobile, which will enable PACC to hit the road distributing vaccines, pet supplies and facilitating adoptions.
