Orange County Animal Care Center Hosts “Dog-toberfest”

(Santa Ana) – In honor of Adopt-a-Dog month, the Orange County Animal Care Center will be hosting a “Dog-toberfest” event on Saturday, October 14, 2006, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., at 561 The City Drive South, Orange. “Dog-toberfest” will showcase hundreds of beautiful animals available for adoption into loving homes.

“We invite animal lovers of all ages to enjoy this day with us,” said Jennifer Phillips, Director of Animal Care Services. “Dog-toberfest is a great opportunity for us to welcome our community, promote responsible pet ownership, highlight our 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 goody bags and seasonal arts and crafts for younger visitors. There will also be giveaways for new adopters and Responsible Pet Ownership booklets for kids of all ages. Explorer Post 538 will be selling refreshments throughout the event.

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