Corona: Home 4 the Holidays Reindeer Games

Dear Nixle User,

corona animal shelterThe City of Corona’s Animal Shelter has teamed with thousands of animal organizations from around the world to participate in an annual pet adoption drive called Home 4 the Holidays. The 2014 campaign, which runs from Oct. 1, 2014, through Jan. 2, 2015, unites over 3,500 partner organizations, (in all 50 states and in 23 different countries) with a focused goal of placing orphan pets into loving homes. The Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption drive began with a growing concern for the number of rescue facilities closing their doors during the holiday seasons. In seeking the perfect holiday gift, would-be adopters were forced to resort to pet stores or puppy mills. Additionally, pet store staffers, untrained to assess the likelihood of a successful animal/family match, contributed to an increased number of pets sent to shelters once the season was over. The Home 4 the Holidays Campaign asks shelter facilities to keep their doors open and get the word out. The program has grown into the largest pet adoption drive in the world and is credited with saving over 9.3 million pets across the globe since its inception in 1999. During the month of December 2014, selected animals named after famous reindeer have had the spay & neuter fees paid by elves, lowering their total adoption cost to $15! Please visit the Corona Animal Shelter and look for these special animals, and give them a good Home for the Holidays! Normal Dog-Licensing fees still apply. For more information call 951-736-2309, or Visit the Corona Animal Shelter at 608 Harrington St., Corona CA 92880.

The Home for the Holidays pet adoption drive began with a growing concern for the number of rescue facilities closing their doors during the holiday seasons. In seeking the perfect holiday gift, would-be adopters were forced to resort to pet stores or puppy mills. Additionally, pet store staffers, untrained to assess the likelihood of a successful animal/family match, contributed to an increased number of pets sent to shelters once the season was over. The Home for the Holidays campaign asks shelter facilities to keep their doors open and get the word out. The program has grown into the largest pet adoption drive in the world and is credited with saving over 9.3 million pets across the globe since its inception in 1999.
