Local shelters are filled with available pets so Berkeley Humane is making it easy to find a dog, puppy, kitten, or cat! All adoption fees have been waived for this event and available pets have already received their veterinary care, vaccinations, microchip, and are ready to go home after a brief adoption counseling session.
Berkeley Humane's 10th Annual Bark (& Meow) Around the Block will be held on Saturday, August 27, from 10 AM to 4 PM, with more than 50 pets available for in-person, same-day adoption.
"Our goal is to connect a shelter animal with its new family every seven minutes," stated Jeffrey Zerwekh, Executive Director at Berkeley Humane. "This will only be possible if enough people show up early with open hearts ready to find love."
Local businesses, including VCA, Bayer, LJ Kruse Plumbing, Hills Pet Nutrition, The Barkmont, Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, Berkeley Rotary Club, Pet Food Express, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Xfinity, Wareham Development, and Subaru have all joined together to make this event possible.
"If you have been considering adding a pet to your family then this is an event you do not want to miss, said Daniel Lang, President of Berkeley Humane's Board of Directors. "For every pet Berkeley Humane pulls from a partner shelter or rescue, room for another animal in need of care opens up. When you adopt from this event you are saving that animal as well as the one who will now have room in another shelter."
