Find Your Fido In October

October is a very active month, the weather is beginning to change in the Bay Area, kids of all ages are getting ready for Halloween and the holiday season is right around the corner. For CCAS, October means one thing: it’s time for National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month! Read below to learn about our October promotion, our participation in the ASPCA’s#FindYourFido campaign and to learn about the issues that CCAS typically handles in our Animal Tails blog. All that and more in this month’s edition of the CCAS newsletter.

October Adoption Promotion

$50 Dog Adoptions
Oct. 2nd - 31st
To celebrate National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month, CCAS is reducing the fee on all dog adoptions to $50. The promotion will run from Oct. 2^nd through Oct. 31^st. Whether you’re adopting for the first time, looking for the newest member of your pack or simply looking to round out your Scooby Doo Halloween costume, there’s no better time to adopt a shelter dog than National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month.

#FindYourFido Campaign

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and CCAS is teaming up with the ASPCA to bring attention to lovable homeless dogs and help them find homes through the #FindYourFido campaign.
Who is Fido, you ask? Fido could be any dog! Fido could be big or small, fluffy or sleek, lazy or playful—but most importantly, every Fido is looking for that right match in a loving home.
We'll be kicking off our campaign on October 2, 2018! As part of the #FindYourFido campaign, CCAS will be offering reduced fee adoptions for dogs all month and also offer a mystery pop-up promotion sometime during the month of October to help find forever homes for as many of our shelter dogs as possible.

Adoption Update

Cheeto (#A0919820) was adopted last month and we just received this super cute update:

"I wanted to share an update on Cheeto. He was adopted by my mom and sisters from the Martinez shelter back in August and as you can see he’s all settled in! He loves his forever home and everyone there loves him."

He looks pretty darn comfortable in his new home! We couldn't be happier for him.
