When and where is the next Super Adoption?
The next Super Adoption will be held in May 2011 (exact date to be announced soon) at O'Neill Park on the Fresno State University campus. O'Neill Park on the north side of Barstow Avenue between Cedar and Chestnut. (Directions are available at the bottom of this page.)
How many animals will be available for adoption?
We plan to have almost 600 dogs and cats at Super Adoption 2010. This is one of the largest adoption events in the United States and a rare opportunity to see such a large and diverse group of pre-screened companion animals.
Who will be offering companion animals for adoption?
The best and brightest dogs, cats, puppies and kittens will be available from the following groups:
Animal Compassion Team
Animal Rescue of Fresno (ARF)
Cat House on the Kings
Central California SPCA
Central Valley Rescue Railroad
City of Fowler/Precious Animals Worth Saving (PAWS)

Although they do not do on-site adoptions, the following rescue groups will also be present with information available about their animals up for adoption:
Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue
Clovis Pet Adoption Center
Fresno Bully Rescue
German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California
Southern California Dachshund Relief
Valley Animal Center
What breeds of animals will be available?
Nearly every breed, size, color, shape and personality of dog and cat will be available at the Super Adoption. Nationally, more than a third of the animals put to death in shelters are purebreds. If you have a breed or type of dog or cat in mind, chances are you will find him or her at the Super Adoption!
How do I adopt an animal companion?
Come to the Super Adoption and when you find a new member of your family, you will apply for adoption with the group offering the animal companion. Each group has its own adoption application and agreement.
How much does it cost to adopt?
Adoption fees are standardized for the Super Adoption: $120.00 for a dog/puppy and $70.00 for a cat/kitten. If you consider the medical care, including the cost of spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, deworming and the cost of micro-chipping, these adoption fees are the bargain of the century.
Are the animals spayed or neutered?
Absolutely! We don't want to contribute to the already overwhelming pet overpopulation crisis in the valley.
Are the animals vaccinated?
Yes. All dogs have had their age appropriate vaccinations. For older dogs, this means rabies and DHPP vaccinations. Some puppies will not be old enough to have already received all their shots so if you adopt one of these, you will have to follow up to make sure they receive further vaccinations necessary. Cats have had their rabies FVRCP vaccinations and have tested negative for feline leukemia.
Are the animals micro-chipped?
Yes. Every animal adopted at Super Adoption will be implanted with a micro-chip at no additional cost to the adopter! Micro-chipping is an important form of identification which can save your animal's life if he or she is picked up and taken to a shelter.
How old are the animals?
A minimum of eight weeks of age. We will have dogs and cats in all age groups. Remember that dogs over the age of six months are highly desirable companions since many are already house-broken!
How will I select an animal who is right for my family?
Our shelter and rescue groups are experts at matching individuals with just the right animal companion. Come and let them find a bundle of love to add to your family!
What will I receive with my new animal companion?
All dogs will go home with a collar and leash and cats will be provided with a carrier. Thanks to Super Adoption sponsors, you will also receive a number of free gifts. These have in the past include (among others) a professional portrait of you and your new family addition (courtesy of JB's Photography), a 5 pound bag of gourmet dog or cat food (from Nature's Select Delivery Express), a coupon for a free engraved identification tag from Whitie's Pets, a photo button of you and your new animal companion (courtesy of Fresno Pet ER), a book of valuable coupons from PetCo and lots of other goodies and coupons for free services from a number of Super Adoption sponsors.
Will dogs already be licensed?
No, but you will be provided with information regarding how to purchase a dog license if you live in the cities of Clovis or Fresno or the Counties of Fresno, Madera, Merced or Tulare.
How do I get to the Super Adoption?
The Super Adoption will be held at O'Neil Park on the Fresno State University campus. O'Neil Park is located on the north side of Barstow Avenue
between Chestnut and Cedar.
From Highway 41: Exit Shaw Avenue
Go East on Shaw to Cedar Avenue, turn left (northbound) on Cedar, then turn right (eastbound) onto Barstow and take Barstow to O'Neil Park which is located between Cedar and Chestnut Avenues.
