Orange County Animal Care Center Hosts “Adopt Your Valentine” Day

(Santa Ana) – The Orange County Animal Care Center will be hosting a new Valentine’s Day event on Saturday, February 11, 2006, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., at the Animal Care Center, 561 The City Drive South, Orange. The “Adopt Your Valentine” Day event will showcase hundreds of beautiful animals available for adoption into loving homes.

“We invite animal lovers of all ages to celebrate Valentine’s Day with us,” said Jennifer Phillips, Director of Animal Care Services. “Adopt Your Valentine Day is a great opportunity for us to welcome our community, promote responsible pet ownership, highlight our Animal Care Center and Volunteer staff, and most importantly, find loving homes for the many animals in our care.”

In addition to the many wonderful animals available for adoption, the Care Center Volunteer staff will be offering free photo opportunities for adopting owners and their new pets, Valentine’s Day treats and Responsible Pet Ownership booklets for kids of all ages. Explorer Post 538 will be selling refreshments and making balloon animals throughout the event.

Last year over 8,000 dogs, cats, rabbits and other loveable animals were adopted from the Orange County Animal Care Center. For further information on this event, contact Ryan Drabek at (714) 935-6427.
