A firefighter sprays water onto bales of straw at the San Martin

Walking into the historic Willey House on Fifth Street in downtown Gilroy last Saturday, the infectious laughter of little girls greets you, second to the sweet scent of hair spray and perfume.

It's a breezy, sunny day and Colleen, a 2-year old dog with an endless love for fetch, playfully chases a tennis ball in the grass. The border collie mix is sweet and lovable, but she has yet to find a permanent home. Colleen is just one of the many animals available for adoption at the County of Santa Clara Animal Care and Control. This Saturday and Sunday, Colleen and all of the other dogs and cats at the shelter can be adopted at no cost, thanks to the shelter's participation in Maddie's Pet Adoption Days - America's largest free pet adoption event.
