(Orange) – In recognition of the American Humane Association’s “Be Kind to Animals” week, Orange County Animal Care Center will be hosting its 17th Annual Pet Fair on Saturday, May 7, 2005, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its facility located at 561 The City Drive South, Orange. The event will showcase hundreds of beautiful animals available for adoption. Last year, the Center was able to place 30 dogs and 42 cats into new homes.

In addition to the many wonderful animals available for adoption, a variety of wildlife and exotic exhibits, pet product vendors, breed rescue groups, animal emergency first aid along with working dog demonstrations and plenty of free samples. Explorer Post 538 will sell refreshments. The Animal Assistance League will be sponsoring opportunity drawings throughout the day with many fabulous items.
