Just finished #reading Birding with Benefits by Sarah T. Dubb. I enjoyed the little touches that firmly placed it in the #Tucson #birding world. This was the first cis/het #romance I have ever read, and it was definitely far more allosexual than my experience of the world. I skipped some of the chapters my wife had marked as being too spicy for me. But if you like that, give it a read. It was a good modern story with a queer supporting cast that takes the lead in the sequel.

“Regirock is one of the sweetest, most loveable dogs I’ve ever met. He absolutely adored cuddling up with people to watch a movie after a nice long walk. He is great on the leash, doesn't pull, and likes to stop and smell the roses. I am so excited for him to find his forever home. He will be an incredible addition to a loving family.”
Regirock spent about a year in a home and was described as affectionate, playful, and always at your side. He loves hiking, toys, and car rides and did well with other dogs his size.
Regirock is also a day trip regular and loves to hit the town- exploring downtown Tucson, hiking, shopping- he’s done it all! He’s been described by his friends as playful, sweet, gentle, snuggly, goofy, fun, lovable, and friendly! That’s a lot of positive adjectives!!

Jordan has been diagnosed with Valley Fever, which is easily managed with medication and isn’t slowing him down one bit! He’d love to find a family committed to his long- term health, and one with a secure yard to keep him safe and sound.
“I immediately found Jordan to be such an awesome dog that I made a point to take him for a walk the next time I was at PACC. He was super easy to leash up and walk out of his kennel and he was non-reactive to the other noisy dogs. For being such a young pup, he had good leash manners...He liked to pick up sticks and carry them around while on our walk- silly boy!...He’s one sweet pup that you must check out at PACC.”

“Scoop is a sweet playful guy who responds well to direction. He showed interest in other dogs passing by but was not reactive. Scoop likes affection and petting but isn’t pushy. I tried throwing a ball for him- he chases it but hasn’t quite figured out that he is supposed to return it. Scoop likes treats and takes them with a soft mouth. He will be a wonderful companion.”
