Assemblyman Vince Fong will once again cover the costs for the first 100 pet adoptions at Kern County Animal Services from Thursday, September 16 through Saturday, September 18.

“There are many dogs and cats in desperate need of a good home,” said Assemblyman Fong (R-Kern County). “Having two rescue dogs of my own, I know the wonderful impact a pet can bring into a home.”

“Adopting and caring for a loving animal has been shown to lift a person’s spirits and bring emotional health to families. I encourage everyone to come and provide a forever home for a pet in our shelter,” added Fong.

The event will kick off at 10 a.m. on Thursday, September 16 and will end on Saturday, September 18 at 4 p.m. Assemblyman Fong will host the adoption fair for three days at the Kern County Animal Services, located at 3951 Fruitvale Avenue in Bakersfield.
