More than 100 people attended the open house at Amador County Animal Control last Saturday, May 5, in Martell, and helped the cause by adopting 11 dogs and three cats from the shelter during a half-price adoption special.
Animal Control Director John Vail said the shelter started the day of the annual open house and pet fair with 15 adoptable dogs, and 11 of those were adopted on that day. They also started with probably seven adoptable cats and three of those cats were adopted Saturday.
Volunteers and local pet businesses and suppliers of food and other items had booths around the parking lot of the office, and other animals that got exposure were adopted on Monday and later in the week. Vail said a rooster, which was crowing throughout the open house, was adopted on Monday, and “that may have been as a result of being seen during the open house.” A donkey that was also at the shelter had been adopted Thursday, he said, “so we have had a good week.”
He estimated that more than 100 people attended and there were probably 50 people there during the Amador County Sheriff’s Department’s K9 demonstration.
