In a social media post, the shelter said the plan is simple: meet dogs and fall in love.

“So here’s your plan: pick a location ... or hit both. We won’t judge,” the shelter’s Facebook post said. “Meet dogs. Fall in love. Maybe go home with your new best friend. Because honestly? This feels like a really good day to adopt.”

The event will be followed by the Roy C. Marcum Animal Care Faire from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at Bradshaw Animal Shelter.

Bradshaw Animal Shelter is teaming up with Tour for Life for a large adoption event on May 10 in Sacramento and Folsom.
