Hundreds of pets in need of loving homes will be available for adoption during the Mega Pet Adoption Event June 28 and 29 at Yucaipa Regional Park. Animal rescue groups from throughout the county will have dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and breeds available for adoption at the two day event. Low-cost vaccinations and micro chipping will be available from 10 am to 2 pm each day. Admission is free to the public; gates will be open from 10 am until 4 pm. Parking for the event will be at the Rick McCown Soccer Complex, which is directly adjacent to the area within Yucaipa Regional Park. The Soccer Complex has a distinct separate entrance from the park.
The annual event, now in its third year, is the result of the County of San Bernardino Animal Care and Control (ACC) Division’s partnership with the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley (HSSBV) and Yucaipa Animal Placement Society (YAPS).
“The Homeward Bound Mega Pet Adoption Event assists in meeting the health and social services needs of the County’s population and supports the Countywide Vision Statement where all sectors work collaboratively to reach shared goals,” said Brian Cronin, Chief Animal Care and Control. “By building new and expanding existing partnerships among public agencies, businesses, and non-profit and faith based organizations.”
