Dogs, cats free to adopt Saturday to ‘clear the shelters’
GILROY—Dogs and cats are free to adopt at the San Martin Animal Shelter and others throughout the Bay area on Saturday, Aug. 15 as part of a movement to “clear the shelters,” according to a press release from Santa Clara County. Adoption fees, which normally exceed $90, will be waived entirely to encourage residents to select their furry friends from local shelters and provide them with permanent, loving homes.

Free pet adoption this weekend
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.
