SR 44 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to California Adopt-a-Pet Day.

Senate Resolution 44 designates June 7, 2025, as "California Adopt-a-Pet Day" to support existing animal adoption efforts. It formally recognizes the collaborative event organized by CalAnimals, the ASPCA, and SF SPCA, which previously helped find homes for 3,609 shelter animals in 2024. The resolution builds on the success of this annual event, which offers free adoptions at shelters across California to increase adoption rates and address shelter overcrowding. This is a symbolic recognition resolution, not a law creating new policies or funding.
