# Event Details

- **Event Name**: FREE THE SHELTER 2026!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 26 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Our shelter is completely full of wonderful pets to adopt!  We need your help to get them all into wonderful homes.

The Cathy Kangas Foundation is back to sponsor FREE THE SHELTER, the open-house adoption event where approved adopters adopt their new best friend at no cost.  It's a FREE-BEE!

The best thing?  All pets still get the standard adoption package, spay/neuter, 2 vaccinations, and a microchip before going home (pets do not go home same-day).

So- on Friday June 26th and Saturday June 27th, it's all-hands-on-deck for BAC from 10am-3pm as we welcome approved adopters to visit and meet and greet with all of our adoptables- no appointment needed*.  

*adoption application and processing still applies.  You may apply in-person same-day, or send application ahead of the event.

Just ask our many Free the Shelters alumni...they'll tell you that this event was a great way to discover, meet, and adopt their new best friend!

Share the event far and wide- we're looking for great homes for over 30+ waiting adoptable pets.
