Kern County Animal Services will host a mega adoption event on Saturday, Nov. 8, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Park at Riverwalk in Bakersfield, the county announced on Around Kern County.

The event will bring together adoptable pets from shelters and rescue organizations across California; the county said animals at the event will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and ready for adoption. Organizers expect nearly 40 pet-related vendors with toys, treats and accessories on-site and encouraged supporters to attend even if they are not seeking to adopt.

The segment described the event as a celebration of pets and community and encouraged viewers to attend and support local shelters and rescues.
