Huellitas de Primavera Adoption Fair Set for Sept. 26–28 at Parque de la Exposición

Organizers use World Adopted Dog Day to spotlight rising abandonment through a large, free-to-enter adoption fair.

Overview

  • Rescatistas y Albergues Unidos will convene more than 50 rescuers and shelters to place dogs and cats in responsible homes.
  • The event runs Friday to Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with free entry for attendees.
  • Free veterinary services will be available throughout the fair for visitors and their pets.
  • The program features pet costume contests, children’s and criollo shows, a blessing of animals, a raffle with more than ten prizes, and an appearance by TikToker Catman.
  • Sales of accessories, pet apparel, food and souvenirs will help fund rescued animals’ care, as organizers note abandonment has continued to rise despite campaigns since 2015.
