Local shelters offer free adoptions on Saturday for statewide “Adopt-a-Pet” day (6/7)

Saturday is California Adopt-a-Pet Day, and more than 150 shelters across the state are holding adoption events, including a few right here in the Morongo Basin.

Palms N Paws Animal shelter in Twentynine Palms is hosting an adoption event with all fees waived on eligible pets that have already been spayed or neutered. They’ll be hosting the event from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at the shelter located at 7086 Buillion Ave.

The Yucca Valley Animal Shelter will waive fees for all adoptions at an adoption event. You can meet the shelter’s dogs and cats, who have all been spayed or neutered, are up to date on their vaccines and have been microchipped. The shelter is at capacity with 101 dogs, though not all of them are dalmatians.

The event runs from 12:00 noon until 5:00 p.m. at the Yucca Valley Animal Shelter, located at 4755 Malin Way.

If you miss either of these events, there are so many needy dogs, cats, and sometimes even tortoises at our local shelters. You can find information about these shelter’s regular hours below. It’s always a great time to meet some new little critters, so let’s help find these abandoned animals some forever homes.
