Our Kennels Are Full—But Your Heart Might Have Just Enough Room
Right now, at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, every kennel is full of large dogs longing for a second chance.

Join us for a life-saving day of dog adoptions!
When: Saturday, May 10th- 10 AM – 2 PM
Where: Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce – Indio Chamber Location

What’s Included With Each Adoption:

No adoption fees for large dogs!
One full year of free vaccinations
Six months of free dog food, courtesy of Lucy Pet Food

Our experienced team will be on-site to help you meet the dogs, answer questions, and guide you in finding the perfect match for your family and lifestyle. Whether you’re ready to adopt your new best friend or just thinking about it, we’d love to see you there. Even if you can’t adopt right now, you can still help!
Share this event with your friends, family, and social media followers. Every share could help a dog find a home and make space for more animals in need. Let’s work together to empty those kennels and fill homes with love.
Be a part of the solution. Join us on May 10th in Indio!
