Press Release:
Hills Science Diet Pays for Adoptions Divided Among Three County Shelters for
"Change a Pet's Life Day"
The County Department of Animal Services will receive a donation from Hills
Science Diet to provide 10 free adoptions, divided among three County Animal
Shelters on Saturday, Jan. 24 for "Change a Pet's Life Day." As part of
Hills' program, families may choose any dog, cat, puppy or kitten regardless
of age.
To compliment Hills' Program, Animal Services is also waiving adoption fees
on all dogs and cats five years or older all day on Saturday.
"We are grateful that a company like Hills Science Diet is donating this
money to encourage more people to adopt shelter pets when they are looking to
add a family member," said Dawn Danielson, Director of the Department of
Animal Services. "I would also ask families to make sure they can afford to
care for these animals properly and that they are ready to make a lifetime
commitment to the animal they adopt."
Families who adopt a pet on Saturday will receive a starter kit that includes
free Science Diet pet food and tips to give their adopted cat or dog the best
start in their new life. All pets that are adopted are vaccinated, spayed or
neutered, microchipped, and adopters will be provided with a free health exam
for their new pet at participating veterinary hospitals in the community.
Free adoptions are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Free adoptions are available at:
5480 Gaines Street, San Diego (offering three free adoptions)
2481 Palomar Airport Rd., Carlsbad (offering four free adoptions)
5821 Sweetwater Rd., Bonita (offering three free adoptions)
