April 10, 2025 (San Diego) -- Join the sun, fun and forever homes spring break “paw-ty” at County Animal Services. Shelter pets are ready to trade kennel life for beach vibes — and you can help make their spring break-out dreams come true.
Come adopt your new best friend and join in the fun by dressing in your favorite beach attire — think Hawaiian shirts, board shorts or a sunny straw hat — and you’ll receive a free beach party kit to get the celebration started.
All month long, you can name your own price when adopting adult dogs and cats. Plus, the county is offering 25% off adoption fees for puppies and kittens.
Every adoption includes:
Spay/neuter surgery
Microchip
Up-to-date vaccinations
A one-year dog license (for residents in our service area)
Visit animals at either shelter location:
South Shelter: 5821 Sweetwater Road, Bonita
North Shelter: 2481 Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad
Walk-in hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Just bring a valid photo ID — adoptions are first-come, first-served.
Adoption fees are always waived for:
Pets who’ve been in the shelter 30+ days
Senior pets (8 years and older)
Seniors adopting (60 years and older)
Not ready to adopt? Try fostering! Fostering makes a huge difference in helping pets get adopted.
Give a shelter pet a temporary break and help them adjust to home life — it’s a great way to help, and County Animal Services provides all the supplies you need (food, leash, bedding, etc.).
