The Riverside County Department of Animal Services is making efforts to aid its overwhelmed shelters by holding California's second-annual Adopt-a-Pet Day.

One of the 150 shelters participating is the Coachella Valley Animal Campus, who says they are overrun with dogs and cats. The Adopt-a-Pet Day waives any adoption fees, as officials hope it encourages residents to add a new furry friend to their home.
