May 30, 2024 (Bonita) -- Unleash your love and find your new family member on the first annual California Adopt-a-Pet Day. Overcrowding continues to affect the County’s shelters and shelters throughout the United States. In response, we are asking for the community’s support to make a lifesaving impact on the homeless pet population.
 
Adoption fees are waived for all pets adopted on Saturday, June 1 at the County’s two animal shelters in Bonita and in Carlsbad. All pets will be vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped.
 
California Adopt-a-Pet Day is more than an annual event; it celebrates the beautiful bond between humans and animals. It’s a day where the possibility of countless moments of laughter and love converge, waiting eagerly for you to be a part of them.
