Sonoma Valley Invites Public to Pet Adoption Drive
Clear the Shelters, a nationwide pet adoption drive, takes place Saturday, July 23 from noon to 5 p.m.

From the County of Sonoma:
"Clear the Shelters," the wildly successful nationwide pet adoption drive that took our community and the country by storm last year, is coming back.
Last year, Sonoma County Animal Services teamed up with NBC Bay Area/KNTV and Telemundo 48/KSTS to provide local families the opportunity to adopt an animal in need by offering reduced-fee adoptions. Together, we were able to help 21 pets find new, loving homes. It was an incredible event, and we are so excited to do it all over again this year on Saturday, July 23 from noon to 5 p.m.

"Clear the Shelters" helps to address the overcrowding issues that local animal shelters typically experience in the summer months because of spring litters. The nationwide pet adoption drive also offers local families the opportunity to adopt an animal in need by offering no-cost or reduced-fee adoptions.
VIP Petcare has teamed up with our shelter and is offering a congratulations gift package worth $200 for each adoption!
Adoption fees are $25 for adult cats or dogs (4 months and older), $21 for rabbits and $132 for kittens, plus license fees, if applicable.
