The Castaic Animal Care Center is inviting the community to take part in a special Emergency Preparedness Adoption Event on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Care Center, 31044 Charlie Canyon Road.
Adoption fees will be waived for all pets during the event.
In addition to meeting adoptable dogs, cats and other animals, the Los Angeles County Fire Department will host a live demonstration using the large animal rescue sling and mannequins to show how horses and other large animals can be safely rescued during emergencies.
Families can also explore emergency vehicles and equipment through a touch-a-truck experience, featuring the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the city’s Library Express.
Attendees will receive tools and resources on preparing your family and pets during emergencies and evacuations, ensuring the whole household is ready when disaster strikes, said a news release from the city.
Food trucks will be on-site offering a variety of options.
All adoption fees will be covered, but owners will still be responsible for the licensing fee. Castaic Animal Care Center staff will be available to guide residents through the adoption process and provide details about each animal.
