East Bay SPCA to Host Annual Adopt-a-thon
Cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, rats and reptiles will be on site and available for adoption on the Oakland waterfront on July 15.
From the East Bay SPCA: From pigeons to pugs… there will be cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, rats and reptiles on site and available for adoption on the Oakland waterfront Saturday, July 15, from 10 am to 2 pm, when the East Bay SPCA hosts its annual Adopt-a-thon at Jack London Square. Presented by sponsor Pet Food Express, Adopt-a-thon features more than 300 adoptable animals from 30 Bay Area rescue groups and shelters, in addition to pet supply vendors and service providers.
Whether you are looking for a new best friend or searching for a new dog sitter, the event has something for the whole family, including doggy ice cream and a photo booth. A microchip booth, sponsored by HomeAgain, will be available for pet owners to purchase $10 microchips to help locate their pets if they ever go missing.
“We’re excited to partner with other East Bay shelters and rescues once again for the biggest animal adoption event in the region,” said Allison Lindquist, East Bay SPCA President and CEO. “Adopting helps save the life of a pet and also creates new space in a shelter or rescue to house and save more lives.”

The East Bay SPCA Adopt-a-thon is widely anticipated, bringing together more than 30 amazing rescue groups and shelters across the Bay Area who work tirelessly to find wonderful companion animals a forever home. The East Bay SPCA first established Adopt-a-thon as a 24-hour event held at the shelter but attendance and partners’ presence was so large that it was moved to Jack London Square.
