A dog named Bing at the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) in Tucson, Arizona, has garnered attention after a recent DNA test revealed he is a father. Bing, a 9-year-old dog, has been at PACC since 2023, but has been living with a foster family since May 2022. His foster family describes him as affectionate and playful, with a personality that shines as he snuggles on the couch or runs around the house with a toy in his mouth.
The unexpected discovery of Bing’s fatherhood came to light thanks to a donated DNA test to PACC. His son, Casper, was adopted from the shelter earlier this year, adding a heartwarming twist to Bing’s story. Despite his friendly demeanor, Bing has faced challenges in finding a permanent home due to his reactivity towards other dogs. He requires a household without other pets, which has limited his adoption prospects.
Bing’s foster family has expressed their hope that he finds a loving home soon, as they are moving away in September. They have witnessed him blossom outside the shelter environment, showing his true personality and readiness for adoption.
Anyone interested in adopting Bing can reach out to the Pima Animal Care Center for more information. The shelter continues to work diligently to find suitable homes for all its animals, but Bing’s story stands out as a reminder of the unique journeys many shelter pets experience.
As Bing waits for his forever home, his foster family encourages potential adopters to consider giving him the chance he deserves. His affectionate nature and playful spirit could make him a perfect companion for the right family.
