CCAS partnering with Bissell Pet Foundation to provide free adoptions of all animals during the month of July as shelter reaches capacity
Martinez, CA – In partnership with the Bissell Pet Foundation, all animals at Contra Costa Animal Services (CCAS) will be free to adopt during the month of July in an effort to clear kennel space with the county shelter reaching capacity. CCAS is also seeking qualified foster homes – specifically those that can accommodate large dog breeds – to help alleviate the current shelter population.
“We’ve reached a fever pitch,” said Ben Winkleblack, CCAS director. “With an already crowded shelter and an average daily intake of nearly 20 animals each day, we’re asking for the community’s help in getting as many pets out of the shelter as we possibly can through adoption and foster.”
CCAS currently has over 200 pets seeking permanent or temporary homes, including over 170 dogs. Interested adopters and fosters can view CCAS’s available pets at www.ccasd.org, or come to meet them at the CCAS adoption center in Martinez. A $25 licensing fee may apply for pet adoptions.

Best dog we ever had was rescued from a shelter. Save a life. They’ll save yours.
Beautiful dog pictured. You can see right away that he’s sorry about something. Maybe that plate of Beef Wellington he spilled onto the floor?
