SECOND ANNUAL BIG DOGS ROCK! ADOPTION EVENT
Because Size Matters!
Hosted By: The San Diego Animal Support Foundation www.sdshelters.com
Sunday, August 17th, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Fiesta Island…across from Fenced Off-Leash Beach near the OTL area.
When it comes to dogs….SIZE MATTERS! If you love big dogs, join us on Fiesta Island for a very special adoption event featuring BIG DOGS ONLY (50-pounds or more), and puppies that will eventually be big dogs! This is an ANNUAL event, bringing together dozens of local rescues and shelters featuring 100 large dogs all in one convenient location! This is expected to be THE LARGEST JOINT ADOPTION EVENT EVER HELD IN SAN DIEGO!
"Due to the economy and foreclosure market, it seems everyone is dumping their big dog in a shelter or rescue these days" says SDASF Spokesperson, Darlene White. "We have a housing market that discriminates against big dogs, and therefore a general public preference for smaller dogs. It's no wonder most dogs euthanized in shelters are the bigger breeds."
As a result, White says, there simply aren't enough homes for larger dogs. This event was developed to attract people who specifically prefer larger breeds, and bring them to one place.
"Now, people don't have to drive to 23 different locations to see if they can find the perfect dog….we'll have 100 adoptable dogs from respectable agencies ALL IN ONE PLACE. If you can't find a dog to love at this event….then maybe you're a cat person."
To help transition the dogs to their new homes, all dogs will go home with a doggie bag filled with goodies, from quality health food, to grooming products, toys, coupons, and gift certificates for free services like pet-sitting, dog walking and grooming!
Bring your own dogs to play on Fiesta Island's Off Leash Dog Beach, and maybe take home your new best friend! Call 619-847-8755 for more info.
Sponsors who are providing free goods and services to ALL dogs adopted that day are: Paw Country, PETCO, The Honest Kitchen, Eqyss Grooming Products, Barkin'dales Dog Wash, U Fetcha Pet Sitting, and more!
