Mars Pet Adoption Weekend
October 10, 2024 - October 13, 2024 | 12:45 pm to 7:00 pm
The Animal Foundation is taking part in the 16th annual Mars Pet Adoption Weekend.
It's happening Friday, October 11 through Sunday, October 13. All adoptable dogs and cats in the shelter are fee-waived, including puppies and kittens!
Adoptions are being covered by Mars Petcare and Pedigree Foundation.
Adopters will go home with a welcome kit, courtesy of the Mars family of pet care brands, including Banfield veterinary coupons, pet accessories, and toys to play with together to help build a strong bond. Every adopter will also receive a Whistle pet wellness tracker.
We have so many wonderful pets waiting for a loving home. Hope you’ll visit and we can help you find your compatible pet!
*A $10 license fee may apply.

How the Adoption Process Works:
- Visit https://animalfoundation.com/adopt-a-pet/adoption-search to browse adoptable animals to have an idea of what you are looking for when you arrive.
- Adoptions take place on a first-come, first-served basis for walk-in traffic, beginning at 11 am each day. Depending on the volume of patrons each day, adoption services may close before 7 PM once our capacity is reached.
- When you arrive, you may browse the adoption area for a pet, or if you have an animal in mind, please note the animal ID# and you'll be able to speak with an adoption counselor.
- Please note, that patrons sometimes line up before we open to meet a pet, especially during adoption events.
- We do not place holds on pets.
- Please do not bring your current pets with you to the shelter. We do not allow in-shelter dog-to-dog introductions. The shelter is a strange and stressful place for most pets and does not provide an accurate indication of how the animals will act in a home environment. The most successful dog-to-dog introductions are properly staged outside the shelter environment. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly introduce your new pet to resident pet(s).
