(Santa Ana) - Orange County Animal Care Services will host its annual Pet Fair event on Saturday, May 19, 2007, from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., at 561 The City Drive South, Orange. This year’s event invites prospective pet owners to ‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side’, and will showcase hundreds of beautiful animals available for adoption into loving homes.

In addition to the many wonderful animals available for adoption, the Care Center event will feature rescue organizations, animal related services, dog-training presentations, wildlife exhibits, and much, much more. Explorer Post 538 will be selling refreshments and making balloon animals throughout the event. Along with other giveaways, the first 20 dog adoptions will receive a free custom-made doghouse courtesy of Bark Busters.

“We invite animal lovers of all ages to celebrate this wonderful day with us,” said Jennifer Phillips, Director of Animal Care Services. “Pet Fair 2007 is a great opportunity for us to welcome our community, promote responsible pet ownership, highlight the many services we provide, and most importantly, find loving homes for the many animals in our care.”

Last year over 10,000 dogs, cats, rabbits and other lovable animals were adopted from the Animal Care Center. For further information on this event, contact Ryan Drabek at 714-935-6427.
