Pet Adoption Fees Waived At Shelter Through December
And this weekend at Dublin PetSmart, Tri-Valley Animal Rescue hosts meet-and-greets with a selection of kitties in need of forever homes.

DUBLIN, CA – If your home could use the pitter-patter of kitty feet, consider stopping by PetSmart in Dublin this weekend and visit with the kittens up for adoption and on display, courtesy of Tri-Valley Animal Rescue, an East Bay non-profit that works with area shelters and animal-rescue groups.
The kittens will be available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at PetSmart at 6960 Amador Valley Road in Dublin, according to TVAR officials.
And for those seeking to add a furry one to the family, keep in mind that TVAR is paying all adoption fees through Dec. 31 to qualified homes adopting a pet from the East County Animal Shelter in Dublin.

"These wonderful animals are so very deserving of a warm and loving home to call their own," TVAR organizers said, adding that licensing fees for dogs may apply.
All pets will be neutered/spayed, vaccinated and microchipped before going to their new homes. And in the holiday spirit -- a stocking full of toys and treats will be included with each adoption!
The East County Animal Shelter is located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, and is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but will be closed Dec. 25. See current list of critters waiting to find a family here.
