Pet Adoption Marathon in the Alameda County Area
Pet Adoption Marathon in the Alameda County Area
Bay Area shelters and animal rescues bring adoptable pets
together under one roof for marathon 36 hour adoption event.
Dublin & Oakland, CA (PRWEB) August 9, 2004 -- Join local
shelters and animal rescue groups at either the Oakland SPCA
or the Tri-Valley SPCA in Dublin, CA anytime of the day—or
night!—for 36 straight hours of pet adoptions, beginning Friday,
August 27th at 8 AM, and continuing through Saturday, August
28th at 8 PM.
Public and private shelters and animal rescue organizations
are overwhelmed daily with incoming animals. While euthanasia
rates have dropped considerably in the last seven years, there
are still many animals in Alameda County needing a home. “We’ve
got dedicated staff and volunteers staying up all night long
to change that,” says Gary Templin, President of the East
Bay SPCA. “An event like this helps the person looking for
a pet by bringing many together at one time.” All animals
available for adoption have been spayed or neutered, or will
be before they are sent to their new home.
The facility will remain open from 8AM on Friday, August
27th through 8PM Saturday, August 28th. Organizations expected
to participate include Oakland SPCA, Tri-Valley SPCA, Berkeley
Humane Society, Valley Humane Society, Tony La Russa’s Animal
Rescue Foundation, Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty Rescue, Hopalong
Animal Rescue, Oakland Animal Control, Tri-Valley Animal Rescue,
Ohlone Humane Society, and Malamute Rescue.
