Dress your pup in a creative costume and head to the DAWG Adoption Extravaganza & Pet Fair Saturday, October 6 for the chance to win forever bragging rights in the costume contest.

The City of Mission Viejo Animal Services Center and Dedicated Animal Welfare Group (DAWG) team up to host this fun event along the Village Green at Oso Viejo Community Park.

Meet Elodie, a big, beautiful and sweet 2-year-old “shorthair” cat. Her smooth coat and dazzling emerald eyes match her queen-like personality. She is mellow and independent and enjoys being pet, brushed and chasing cat toys.

Surprisingly, Elodie has been at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center for three months and is waiting her forever home. She would thrive in a calm, quiet home – and her adoption fee has been reduced to just $20 for an approved applicant.

With hot temperatures lingering in the forecast, pet owners are reminded to take the following precautions to keep their animals happy, healthy and safe.
