PET CONNECTION: STRAY DOGS AFTER FIREWORKS (VIDEO) - The most common animals seen at Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) are stray dogs. The upcoming 4th of July holiday is a great time to remind pet owners to have their pets licensed and microchipped to help ensure they find their way home if lost. If you find a stray pet this holiday, or at any time, know that more than half of the pets found are a few streets or houses away from their own home. PACC is encouraging the public to try and find the pet's owner or bring it to the shelter or a vet to check for a microchip.
