This weekend, several animals are hoping to find a forever home while owners can protect their pets for less.

Saturday, June 7th, is the California Adopt-a-Pet Day, with fees waived. The goal is to find loving homes for 5,000 pets across the state. More than 150 animal shelters are participating in this year’s event, including Calaveras County Animal Services (CCAS). The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with adoption fees covered. However, all the dogs will be out of their kennels between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with volunteers helping to introduce potential adoptees to the pooches.
