News release
The city of Santa Clarita, in partnership with the Castaic Animal Care Center, is scheduled 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday to host the Paws for Love Adoption event at the Santa Clarita Public Library Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Branch, 18601 Soledad Canyon Road.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, adoption fees will be waived for all pets adopted on site; adopters will only pay the licensing fee of $14 for dogs and $5 for cats during the event and throughout the month of February at participating L.A. County shelters.
Adopting a pet can save a life, help reduce overpopulation in shelters and provide a second chance for pets in need, said a news release from the city.
This year, your Valentine may have four paws, a wagging tail or a playful purr, as cats will be available for the first time during this special adoption event, the release said. Residents can expect to meet a variety of cats and dogs and have the opportunity to walk, play and get to know each animal before finding the “purr-fect” fit for their family, the release said.
Castaic Animal Care Center staff will also be on site to talk more about each animal and help guide families through the adoption process.
In addition to meeting potential pets, attendees can explore the library’s collection of books and resources to help support responsible pet ownership. Coloring pages will be available for children during the adoption event.
For more information on the adoption event, contact the city’s Community Preservation Division at 661-286-4076.
