Animal Care Services to Hold Kick-Off Event Saturday

Rachel Ray LogoCorpus Christi Animal Care Services Division, in conjunction with People Assisting Animal Control (PAAC), will kick off the 2013 ASPCA Rachel Ray $100,000 challenge by hosting a four-hour adoption event this Saturday, June 1st at the Animal Care Services Building 2626 Holly Road. The event begins at 1:00PM and continues until closing.

Over 100 dogs and 65 cats will be available for adoption, and over 75 of those animals will have all or a portion of the adoption fees paid by PAAC sponsors.

Students from the Del Mar College Kinesiology Department will provide fun activities for young and old, including teaching the “Adoption Wave” dance step to anyone interested. The “Adoption Wave” may just be the most exciting dance craze to hit Corpus Christi since the “Harlem Shuffle”, and besides being fun it promotes a great cause. PAAC volunteers will be keeping a keen eye out for aspiring dancers to join them on Saturday July 20th at Cole Park, when they film the dance for video production and distribution.

In addition to the fun activities, Animal Care and PAAC will have socialization areas set up for people to interact with prospective adoption animals, as well as trained advisors available to help you select the right pet for your family.

PAAC is a non-profit organization that assists Animal Care Services and promotes responsible pet ownership and adoption. If you are not in a position to adopt, PAAC encourages donations to help sponsor needy animals. If you cannot adopt or make a donation, Animal Care Services and PAAC are also seeking volunteers to help us win the Rachel Ray Challenge 100k Challenge.

The 2013 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge is a nationwide competition for animal shelters (and their communities) aimed at getting more animals adopted or returned to their owners than ever before. Corpus Christi Animal Care Services is competing against nine other similarly sized animal shelters nationwide. The shelter that demonstrates the largest increase of live release (return to owner and adoptions) during the months of June, July and August in comparison to 2012, wins $100,000 from the ASPCA to spend on increasing live release and targeted spay/neuter programs.

Corpus Christi Animal Care Services and PAAC are committed to winning this year’s Challenge, but cannot reach this goal without your help. So please, come on by Saturday, enjoy the entertainment and adopt a pet or sign up to volunteer on the Challenge. Your contribution will help save the life of a needy pet.
