Fourth of July fireworks always bring plenty of lost animals to Pima Animal Care Center (PACC), and the days after the holiday typically are the busiest days at the shelter. To encourage pet owners to claim their lost pets, PACC is waiving all boarding fees today through Saturday for pet owners who agree to let the shelter spay or neuter their pets. While pet owners will not be required to pay for the surgery, they will be required to pay any applicable fees and late fees associated with the annual license if their pets don't have a valid license.
