The Bay Area Pet Fair will have a special focus on adoption and rescue of pets, with more than 40 regional adoption and rescue organizations bringing adoptable pets for everyone to meet and greet.
The adoptathon is shaping up to be the largest in Marin history, with the goal of finding homes for 500 pets.
Pet Food Express is hosting the festivities and is providing a $25 gift card for each adopting family, plus $50 to the adopting rescue group.
Admission is $7 adults, $5 for ages 6-12; a family four-pack is $20. Parking is free.
