(Santa Ana) - Orange County Animal Care Services (OCACS) announced today the availability of approximately 50 puppies, 6 kittens, 18 rabbits, and 1 guinea pig that were confiscated from a Santa Ana pet store in August.  The adoption event will take place this Saturday, September 22, 2007 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 561 The City Drive South in Orange. The animals have received excellent care, love, and attention from OCACS staff and are ready to be adopted into forever homes.

The animals will be on public view from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Orange County residents can enter a drawing for the animals they are interested in adopting.  Drawings will begin at 12 p.m. and continue until all animals have been adopted.  Each family will have an opportunity to enter the drawing for each animal available, although there will be a one animal limit per family.  Upon being selected to adopt, the happy new owners will need to be prepared to pay all adoption fees that include the price of adoption, all vaccinations, an ID microchip, and spay or neuter surgery.  

“Bring your family and friends to OCACS on Saturday for this rare event,” said Jennifer Phillips, Director of OCACS.  “Enjoy the morning visiting with these wonderful animals and the many others available at OCACS.  Enter the drawing and you may end up taking home a new forever friend!”   

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