Exciting news! This Saturday, VCA will be at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter to celebrate Clear the Shelters! Stop by our table to say hello and learn more about how we’re supporting this amazing event. Clear the Shelters runs August 17th and 18th, with all adoption fees generously sponsored by Silvercrest. Don’t miss this chance to find your new best friend! Doors open at 10am on Saturday, see you there!

Mark your calendars for the "Clear the Shelters" Event on August 17th and 18th at Palm Springs Animal Shelter.

During these two special days, Palm Springs Animal Shelter with the support of Silvercrest will be covering all adoption fees. Yes, you read that right—your new pet will come home with you completely free of charge. This generous gesture ensures that cost is not a barrier for families looking to welcome a new member into their homes. When you adopt from the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, you can rest easy knowing that every pet receives comprehensive care before joining your family. Each animal is spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

Additionally, any newly adopted pets will come with a "Healthy Start Certificate" that includes a complimentary health exam and a complimentary follow-up care for other medical conditions up to $250 from VCA. You can use your healthy start certificate at any of our VCA General Practice. Please head over to the Palm Springs Animal Shelter this weekend to find your perfect pet(s) and we hope you will stop by the VCA booth to say hello to our team at the booth. We can share more about our incredible partnership with Palm Springs Animal Shelter, the healthy start certificate, answer any questions you have about VCA or what we do in our communities. We can even schedule your first complimentary exam before you leave the shelter, so you do not need to call a hospital and can book it before you leave. Not only for our VCA Desert location, but other VCA hospitals in the area.

Your new best friend is waiting for you!
