About Us
Our Mission
At Phoenix Animal Care Coalition (PACC911), we are dedicated to creating a unified and compassionate community that works together to save the lives of homeless animals. Founded by Bari Mears in 1999, our organization has grown to become a major coalition in the valley, uniting over 140 animal welfare organizations in Arizona. Our mission is to provide a louder and more credible voice for animals who cannot speak for themselves.
Our Services
We offer a range of critical services to support our coalition partners and the animals in their care. Our key resources include:
- Large Outdoor Adoption Events: These events have helped place over 11,200 pets into loving homes since 2004. Our adoptathons are a vital part of our mission, bringing together potential adopters and rescue organizations to find forever homes for countless animals.
- Ongoing Fundraising: We have raised over $5.62 million for homeless animals through innovative events and dedicated fundraising efforts. This support is essential for the continued rescue and rehoming of pets in need.
- Educational Outreach: We influence people of all ages about responsible pet care, the humane treatment of animals, and the importance of spaying and neutering to tackle the pet overpopulation crisis.
- Medical Care Funds: Our Critical Care Program has saved over 9,150 pet lives and dispensed over $3.7 million in medical aid since 2004. This program provides vital assistance to rescue organizations, helping them cover the high costs of veterinary care for critically injured or ill animals.
Our Impact
PACC911 has made a significant impact in the community by providing essential support to animal welfare organizations. Our coalition partners depend on us to soften the high cost of veterinary care, allowing them to focus on what they do best: saving and rehoming displaced pets. We also operate the Chuck Waggin’ Pet Food Pantry, which helps low-income families keep their pets in the home by providing much-needed pet food.
