IRVINE, Calif.—Rescue pets are finding new homes this holiday season at the 15th Annual “Home for the Holidays” Adoption Fair on Sunday, Dec. 5, in Irvine.

Hosted by the Irvine Animal Care Center at 6442 Oak Canyon, the outdoor event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“The park-like environment provides ample space for the community to come together to find a new furry family member and get an early start to holiday gifting for ourselves, our pets, and more,” according to the city’s event statement.

About 200 animals will be available for adoption. Local rescue groups and vendors will be on-site.

Admission is $5 per person, with children 13 and under free. All participants must reserve their tickets in advance and sign up for specific time slots.
