June 6th is California Adopt-a-Pet Day!

  • 1.  June 6th is California Adopt-a-Pet Day!

    Posted 9 days ago

    CalAnimals is thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 3rd annual California Adopt-a-Pet Day, made possible by incredibly generous sponsorship from the ASPCA and San Francisco SPCA to cover adoption fees, promotion, and advertising. This is a fee waived adoption event for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and equines. (Please note there is a $500 reimbursement max on equine adoption fees.)

    California Adopt-a-Pet Day is an important event to celebrate the amazing animals awaiting homes in California shelters by joining together for a highly promoted day of fee-waived adoptions. The extensive advertising of this event helps us extend our message far and wide to effectively reach members of the public that have not previously adopted from a shelter.

    Last year we had more than 200 shelter locations participate and we adopted out 4,979 pets in one day.

    This year's event will be held on Saturday, June 6th with the goal of surpassing 5,000 pets adopted. Let's do this!

     

    We are now inviting CalAnimals member shelters to register online to participate in California Adopt-a-Pet Day by Friday, May 8th. You'll find the registration link here: https://airtable.com/app0Dog5GbCrxsnyZ/pagkkUiszdL4JQlqa/form?prefill_RFPs=2026+CalAnimals&hide_RFPs=true&prefill_Programs=CalAnimals+Event&hide_Programs=true

    Registration ensures that all shelter locations are included, and will give organizations access to grant funding to cover adoption fees and free marketing materials to promote this event.  All adoption centers will be listed on our high-traffic CaAdoptaPetDay.org website where members of the public will be directed to search for participating locations.

    This is an excellent opportunity to place a large number of animals with happy families during one of our busiest times of year.

    Questions? Please contact Jill Tucker at jill@calanimals.org.
