Are you located in or around Orange County, CA and looking into Pet Adoption? If so you should come out to the 4th annual Home For The Holidays Pet Adoption Fair! We wrote a little bit about last year’s Home For The Holidays, but unfortunately we weren’t able to attend.
We’re going to do our best to make it out to this years pet adoption. However, we’re going to leave the boys at home (sorry, Dublin, Stetson and Linus).

– Where is the event located?
The event will take place at the Irvine Animal Care Center’s facility located at 6443 Oak Canyon Road, Irvine, CA 92618.
-What is the price of admission?
Admission is $1 per person. Please bring cash for admission.
– Where do I park for the event? Is there a charge for parking?
Event visitors may park in the parking structure along Oak Canyon Road. Do not park on the street or you will be towed. Handicapped parking will be available in the IACC’s parking lot. There is no charge for parking.
– How much is the adoption fee to adopt an animal at the event?
Every rescue group and animal shelter present at the event will have their own adoption fees. Please check with the rescue group or animal shelter to find out their adoption fees, what is included in the fee, and what requirements the organization has to adopt the pet.
– Is the IACC offering an adoption discount on their shelter pets for the event?
Yes. The IACC will be offering $20 off dog, cat and rabbit adoptions completed on event day.
– Is there an ATM machine at the facility?
Yes, there will be an ATM on premises. However, since the many vendors’ and animal groups’ adoption fees vary and there is so much different merchandise to purchase it is recommended you bring checks and plenty of cash. Some rescue groups and vendors do not have the capability to charge a credit card.
– Will there be food at the event?
Yes. Lunch, snacks, baked goods and beverages will be available for purchase.
– May I bring my dog to Home for the Holidays?
Absolutely. We welcome you to bring your fully vaccinated, well behaved, leashed dog(s) to the event. There will be activities designed just for your dog, including professional pet photos and low-cost microchips. For safety reasons, we ask that you do not bring cats or other animals to the event. In addition, please do not bring any dogs in heat.
– How do I volunteer at the event?
The Irvine Animal Care Center is currently looking for volunteers age 15 and older to help with set up and tear down, maintenance, parking and videography. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Crystal Nettles at cnettles@cityofirvine.org by December 3.
