The Bay Area Pet Fair & Adoptathon
The 2014 Bay Area Pet Fair & Adoptathon will be held October 11th and 12th at the Marin Center in San Rafael, CA from 10 am until 4 pm.
In the past three years, more than 1,750 dogs, cats, rats, rabbits,
guinea pigs, chickens, king pigeons, hermit crabs, hamsters and cockatiels have
been adopted into new homes. Pet Food Express organizes and hosts this event
with one purpose in mind: to get as many animals into forever homes as
possible.
There will be more than 50 pet shelters and rescues participating this
year, with all kinds of pure breeds as well as lots of mutts. Click here to learn more.

Fix Long Beach Has
Fixed Over 1,700 Pets
Since June 2013, a small group of animal advocates have joined forces to provide low cost and no cost spay and neuter services for over 1,700 pets. They set a goal to provide 500 spay and neuter services in the months of June-August 2014. They met that goal, as well as provide other medical service, including shots and microchips.
Fix Long Beach has also pioneered a program to involve the community youth by creating a community outreach program whereby the youth go into low income communities and educate the residents on the value of spay and neutering their pets and distribute donated pet care products, including food.
