🎆 Prepare Before the 4th of July Boom! 🎆

Did you know that more pets go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year? Loud fireworks can frighten even the calmest pets, causing them to run away from home.

🐾 Protect your pet with a microchip!

The City of Turlock is offering:

✅ FREE microchips for Turlock residents
✅ $5 microchips for non-residents

A microchip is a safe, permanent form of identification that greatly increases the chances of being reunited with your pet if they become lost.

Don’t wait until the fireworks start—take action now to help ensure your pet makes it safely through the holiday.

❤️ Help us help you recover your pet if they ever go missing.

For more information, contact your local animal services team.

Last Saturday’s adoption event may not have ended with any adoptions, but that does not mean the effort was wasted. Our team showed up, worked hard, cared for the animals, connected with the community, and gave it everything they had. Every event is an opportunity to advocate for the pets still waiting for their forever homes.

Because these animals are still waiting, we are extending our First 15 Adoptions Free promotion through May 30, 2026.

If you have been thinking about adopting, now is the time. Come meet some amazing pets who are ready for a fresh start, a warm couch, and a family to call their own. 🐾
