The San Diego County Department of Animal Services is offering residents to name their price on animals through Jan.8 through their “Bark in the Mew Year” special.
The special runs through Jan.8 to adopt dogs, cats, tortoises, rabbits, chickens, and pigs in San Diego Department of Animal Services custody. All animals will be spayed or neutered, have vaccinations, a microchip, and a one-year license for dogs in the service area under the special.
“This is the time of year when many of us resolve to spread kindness, be more active, make new friends, and generally make changes that will improve our well-being. Pets can help us achieve some of our goals,” said County Animal Services Director Kelly Campbell. “Animals are a natural stress reliever and they thrive on your kindness and affection which they return in kind, sometimes multiplied 10 times over.”
Those who are interested in adoption are asked to visit the Adoptions page. Animal Services staff recommend picking out a second and third choice too, just in case your first choice is already chosen by another person.
Walk-in hours are from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at both the South Shelter, 5821 Sweetwater Road in Bonita, or the North Shelter, 2481 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad.
Fill out an application online to print or pick one up at the shelter. Applications can also be emailed but it is quicker to go in person.
Those who cannot adopt are encouraged to consider fostering or volunteering.
