Be a Shelter's Dog Lucky Charm at OC Animal Care Adoption Promotion

March 2023 Adoption Promotion

Throughout March 2023, every day is a lucky day because adoption fees are waived for dogs 25 pounds and over at OC Animal Care. During the adoption promotion in February 2023, a 16 percent increase was seen in adoptions for dogs 25+ pounds compared to the adoption rates in February 2022. OC Animal Care is excited to extend the promotion in hopes to find further success for our furry friends!

The adoption promotion is available to residents of any city. With over 400 adoption visits available per week, potential adopters can pre-schedule a visit by calling (714) 935-6848 or drop by for a walk-in visit. Walk-ins are welcomed on a first-come, first-served basis as staffing allows.

The waived fees include microchipping, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and an anti-parasite treatment. Waived adoption fees do not include licensing fees or puppies six months of age or younger.

The Perfect Match Adoption Promotion

February 2023 Adoption Promotion

Those searching for their perfect match should look no further than OC Animal Care! Throughout February 2023, the shelter is waiving adoption fees for dogs 25 pounds and over, guaranteeing adopters a date for Valentine’s Day and a best friend for life. 

OC Animal Care held an adoption promotion in January 2023, nearly doubling the number of adoptions during the same month in 2022 with 119 dogs that were 25+ pounds finding their forever home. With such success, OC Animal Care is excited to continue waiving adoption fees to highlight and encourage adoptions of medium- to large-sized dogs throughout February 2023.

Dogs, such as Hunter, Kaylie, and Nathan, are ready for their chance at love this Valentine’s Day!

Hunter (A1754123)
Kaylie (A1757073)
Nathan (A1754031)

Hunter (A1754123)

OC Animal Care received a call about a dog wandering around a tire shop and arrived to rescue this sweet boy! Since being in the shelter’s care, staff and volunteers learned that Hunter is an active boy who never tires of playing fetch and loves to explore new places. Hunter loves going on walks more than he likes treats, but that doesn't mean he'll pass up a yummy cookie! Hunter seems to prefer women over men, but with the proper introduction and timing, he is open to meeting everyone! Hunter is looking for a home with kids ages 16 years and older.

Kaylie (A1757073)

Kaylie arrived at OC Animal Care as a stray when a good Samaritan found her wandering around alone. Upon arrival, the veterinary team noticed Kaylie has a skin condition that may cause her to be a little itchy at times, but it doesn't prevent her from loving life! This sweet girl loves going on walks and running around with her favorite human friends in the play yard. Kaylie is an energetic pup who is very friendly toward everyone she meets!

Nathan (A1754031)

Arriving at OC Animal Care in February 2022 as a stray, Nathan is currently the shelter’s longest-stay resident. His always-happy personality has stolen the hearts of staff and volunteers! Nathan is a wise middle-aged boy who loves going on a walk with his favorite human and then relaxing right by their side. But show him a toy and you'll find that he can be as playful as a 3-month puppy!

The adoption promotion is available to residents of any city. With over 400 adoption visits available per week, potential adopters can pre-schedule a visit by calling (714) 935-6848 or drop by for a walk-in visit. Walk-ins are welcomed on a first-come, first-served basis as staffing allows.

The waived fees include microchipping, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and an anti-parasite treatment. Waived adoption fees do not include licensing fees or puppies six months of age or younger.
