- By Laura Chesler Santa Clarita Contributo­r

People who are looking to adopt a new four-legged family member or enjoy a day of free family fun should head out to Hart Park in Newhall on Sunday, October 8. Hundreds of dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies will be available for adoption at the 17th Annual BowWows & Meows Pet Fair. The 2017 fair, sponsored by Animal Medical Center, Ingolstadt West German Auto Specialist­s and Valencia Veterinary Center kicks off at 11 a.m.

Since it began in 2000, the Valencia-based Bow-Wows & Meows, Inc., a 501(c) 3 non-profit organizati­on, has adopted out close to 2,300 pets at its annual fairs, which see attendance in excess of 10,000 people each year. All breeds of leashed, well-behaved dogs that are up to date on their vaccinatio­ns are welcome to attend with their humans—there is no breed discrimina­tion at the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair.

All seven Los Angeles County Animal Shelters will be offering discounted adoption fees of just $30 and their veterinary team will be on hand to answer questions from new County adopters. Every County pet is spayed or neutered, immunized and microchipp­ed, and ready to go home immediatel­y. Adopters receive a special, compliment­ary “I’ve Just Been Adopted” bag for their new family member compliment­s of Bow-Wows & Meows sponsors and vendors. Additional adoptions will also be available from private rescues (adoption fees and policies vary).
