Scattered showers did not stop the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health’s Animal Care staff from connecting loveable pets with their new forever homes during the “Bark in the Mew Year” complimentary adoption event from Jan. 2- Jan. 11, at the Devore and Big Bear Animal Shelters.

The no-cost event was sponsored by the Animals aRe First Fund (ARFF), which included spay or neutering, microchip and most vaccines for each adopted animal. A total of 76 pets were adopted for the event, over twice as much from last year’s event, which totaled 37 adoptions.
