Ventura County Animal Services (VCAS) is participating in the 3rd Annual California Adopt-A-Pet Dayon Saturday, June 6th, 2026, from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm at the Camarillo and Simi Valley Animal Shelters. This is a statewide adoption event with over 150 participating shelters.
The goal of the event is to adopt out as many animals into loving homes as possible. To help remove adoption barriers, VCAS is waiving all adoption fees!
Last year VCAS adopted out a record 60 animals during this statewide event, and they hope to break this record as VCAS remains overcapacity.
Animals will go home spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and flea-treated. Adopters will also receive lots of pet adoption gifts.
NEW: This year guests can watch Doggie Playgroup from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm at the Camarillo Shelter. This is a rare opportunity to see dogs playing off-leash in a fun and family-friendly space. Also at the event will be Mr. Softee, providing cool treats for shelter guests, and Lazer Radio, who will playing music and handing out swag.
“California Adopt-A-Pet Day is a wonderful opportunity for the community to open their hearts and help loving pets find a forever home,” Said Esteban Rodiguez, VCAS Director.
