Animal lovers rejoice, because free adoption days are here again at the Santa Clara County Animal Shelter in San Martin as part of the annual Maddie’s Fund event.
The two-day collaborative effort, which gets under way May 30-31 at the 12370 Murphy Avenue facility, “will be offering free pet adoptions all weekend and for every animal adopted, the shelter will receive grant money from the Maddie’s Fund to provide lifesaving veterinary care.”
On Saturday, May 30, the shelter will be open from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and, on Sunday, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
“This event is a great opportunity for adopters to find the love of their life for free while simultaneously helping other animals,” according to the May 21 announcement from the county animal shelter. “Maddie’s Fund has chosen Santa Clara County, along with five other counties across the U.S., to be part of this year’s event in an effort to work together to empty the shelters and save lives.”
This is the third year that county shelter has participated in the event. Last year, the shelter placed 77 animals and raised $45,000.
