This year's California Adopt-a-Pet Day will take place on Saturday, June 6th, and the ASPCA will once again, be providing grants to underwrite the waived adoption fees. Last year's event was a huge success, with 4,979 adoptions, and for 2026 we are eager to reach our goal of finding loving homes for 5,000 dogs, cats, horses, and other small animals. As the media outreach and paid advertising drive more adopters to our shelters, we want to help everyone prepare and maximize this opportunity to send as many pets home as possible.

Join us for this informative session where leaders from Humane Society of Sonoma County, OC Animal Care, and County of Monterey will share their strategies for success. You'll hear how they do their promotions, ramp up volunteer support, prepare staff, orchestrate the large number of adoptions, and ensure that as many animals as possible are ready to go. You'll also learn about the great resources available to assist by our promotions expert from the ASPCA.
