Martinez, CA – On Saturday, June 7, Contra Costa Animal Services (CCAS) will join more than 150 California animal shelters in holding free adoption events as part of the second annual California Adopt-a-Pet Day, hosted by the California Animal Welfare Association (CalAnimals).
The event’s festivities will include free adoptions of shelter pets ($25 licensing fee may apply) and fun activities throughout the day.
“Adopting a pet is not just about bringing an animal into your family – it’s about giving them a chance at a life filled with love and care,” said CCAS Director, Ben Winkleblack. “We’re excited to invite the community to our Adopt-A-Pet Day event on June 7th and join us for a day of fun, learning, and of course, finding a forever friend.”
CCAS’s Adopt-A-Pet Day event will include more than just free adoptions. Participants will enjoy a fun filled day featuring the following:
• Free pet adoptions
• Adoptions from local rescue groups CalPaws, Contra Costa Humane Society, Rhodie’s Rescue, and Hugs for Harry
