The Irvine Animal Care Center will host its 15th annual Home for the Holidays Pet Adoption Fair Sunday, December 5, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Home for the Holidays will be held entirely outdoors at the Irvine Animal Care Center and feature local pet rescue groups and pet-related vendors, along with upwards of 200 adoptable animals. 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.

The City of Irvine is expanding its partnership with testing provider Covid Clinic. Vaccinations are now available at existing Covid Clinic sites at the Irvine Civic Center and Great Park. All three vaccines for COVID-19 will be offered for patients 16 and older. Vaccines for younger children will be available in the future. Vaccine appointments for first dose, second dose, and booster shots are available at cityofirvine.org/covidclinic, and the vaccine type can be selected during registration.

Help make holidays bright this season by supporting pets in need at the Irvine Animal Care Center.

The holiday season is approaching, and you can help spread cheer to pets who need it the most. By supporting the Irvine Animal Care Center Holiday Donation Drive you provide happy outcomes for animals in need. Donations provide funding for our Enhanced Care, Third Chance for Pets, and Foster Care programs.
