Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

On Saturday, June 7, the Humboldt County Animal Shelter will offer free adoptions as part of the second annual California Adopt-a-Pet Day, a statewide event aiming to get 5,000 animals into loving homes— in just one day.

The shelter will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with adoption fees completely waived for all available pets. Costs are covered in part by the ASPCA and event organizers.

Important info for adopters:

• An approved application is required before meeting any animals.
• To view adoptable pets and apply online ahead of time, visit: humboldtgov.org/Animal-Shelter
• If you’re adopting a dog and already have dogs at home (or on the property), bring them along to meet your potential new pet.
• Renters: Applying in advance is especially important so staff can contact your landlord.

Why adopt now?

• Every animal adopted makes space for another in need. When you adopt from our shelter, your new pet comes spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped—ready to head home with you.
• Last year, this event helped over 3,600 animals get adopted in one day. This year, the goal is even bigger.

Join us. Bring a friend. Go home with a new one!
