COUNTY of San Diego Animal Services is extending its fee-waived adoptions through December. On Saturday, Dec. 9, 30 animals got to sing there’s “Snow Place Like Home Fur the Holidays” after special adoption events at both the South and North shelters.

“We want to give everyone the joy of spending their holidays with a new furry, feathered or scaly friend. And to make it an even better gift, we are waiving adoption fees through the year,” said Department of Animal Services Director Kelly Campbell. “We have so many wonderful dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes.”

All dogs and cats adopted from county shelters will be spayed or neutered, microchipped and have vaccinations and a one-year license for dogs in the service area.

Please visit County Animal Services’ Adoptions page (https://www.sddac.com/content/sdc/das/adopt.html) and browse the amazing animals from cats to dogs to turtles, roosters, pigs, rabbits and guinea pigs available now, then stop by to meet your favorites. Adoptions are completed at the shelter on a first come, first serve basis.

County Animal Services’ top priority is providing excellent care in its shelters while finding good homes for every healthy and treatable animal.

While the goal is to find the right fit for animals and their permanent adopter to form a lasting and loving bond, animal fostering is another opportunity for animals to learn how to be in a home and socialize with people and other animals.
