Santa Barbara County Animal Services and PetSmart Charities are joining forces to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. A special adoption event, “Adventure Awaits,” will take place on Friday, July 26 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at PetSmart in Goleta. This event is part of National Adoption Week, a celebration of the joy and companionship that comes with pet adoption. The event will feature an outdoor adoption “basecamp” in the PetSmart parking lot, where community members can meet a variety of adoptable animals, support small businesses, and enjoy family-friendly activities. Adoption fees will be waived for the day, and animals from shelters across the county will be available to meet and adopt. The event aims to encourage the community to imagine how a pet can enrich their daily lives, from hikes to hammocks, sunsets to snuggles.
“Adventure Awaits encourages the community to start their greatest adventure by adopting,” said Sarah Aguilar, Director of Santa Barbara County Animal Services. “Whether you’re ready to bring home a pet or are curious about the adoption process, we encourage you to join us for PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week!”
