Something very special will be happening on Saturday, August 27, from 10am to 4pm, at Berkeley Humane’s large adopt-a-thon event, Bark (and Meow) Around the Block. In addition to over 100 pets available from 5 shelters and rescues, most pets with all fees-waived, three of the most famous “dogs” in the Bay Area will be there – but you can’t take them home!
A significant slowdown in adoptions could be devastating for local shelter dogs. Before the start of the pandemic, the length of time a dog would spend at Berkeley Humane was under two weeks. Now the average stay is more than 130 days with no viable adopters in sight.
Local shelters are filled with available pets so Berkeley Humane is making it easy to find a dog, puppy, kitten, or cat! All adoption fees have been waived for this event and available pets have already received their veterinary care, vaccinations, microchip, and are ready to go home after a brief adoption counseling session.
Berkeley Humane is the only shelter in Northern California to be awarded a $10,000 grant from PEDIGREE Foundation focused on helping keep pets and families together through Berkeley Humane’s Pet Food Pantry.

Ripley, a four-year-old Chihuahua was transported from a local home with dozens of dogs and cats when the owners/guardians had become overwhelmed.
When we met Jupiter, a 2-year-old Pitbull mix, at an overcrowded public shelter, we were immediately smitten with her affectionate and gentle personality. She charmed everyone she met!
