Bill > SR44

This resolution recognizes June 7, 2025, as California Adopt-a-Pet Day, highlighting the ongoing efforts to address animal shelter overcrowding and promote pet adoption in the state. The resolution acknowledges the collaboration between key animal welfare organizations like the California Animal Welfare Association (CalAnimals), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SF SPCA) to tackle challenges such as veterinary professional shortages, housing restrictions, and limited access to spay and neuter services. It celebrates the success of the inaugural California Adopt-a-Pet Day in 2024, which found homes for 3,609 animals, exceeding its initial goal of 2,024 adoptions and involving over 170 animal welfare organizations. The resolution aims to build on this success by setting a goal of finding loving homes for 5,000 shelter animals in 2025, with participating shelters offering free adoptions to eligible Californians. Additionally, the resolution instructs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
