Animal Care and Control will host a week-long pet adoption event at its shelters in Devore and Big Bear. The Furever Yours pet adoption event will run Feb. 12 to 18. The Animals aRe First Fund (ARFF), a local non-profit charitable organization that assists animals in County of San Bernardino Animal Shelters, is sponsoring the event.
Adoption fees during the event will be $25 for dogs and $17 for cats, which includes spaying/neutering, vaccinating, and microchipping for each pet. There is a limit of two adoptions per family. Licensing fees vary and are not included.
“During this event you can add a lifetime of love and happiness by bringing home a furever friend,” said Brian Cronin, Chief of San Bernardino County Animal Care and Control. “There are a wide variety of companion animals available for adoption waiting to go to a loving home.”
