Find Your New Best Friend at the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival
Indio, CA – The Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival presented by Fantasy Springs Resort Casino is excited to announce a collaboration with Riverside County Animal Services to bring dog adoption opportunities to this year’s event! Each Saturday and Sunday from February 13 to March 2, fairgoers can meet rescue dogs, learn about adoption, and maybe even find their newest furry family member!
“We have made an effort to bring back dog adoptions at the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival,” said Supervisor V. Manuel Perez. “This is a wonderful opportunity to connect rescue dogs with loving homes. I want to thank the Riverside County Department of Animal Services, the Riverside County Facilities Management Department and Pickering Events for their collaboration.”
Adoption specialists will be on hand to guide prospective adopters, ensuring they find the perfect match for their home and lifestyle.
Right next to the adoption center, visitors can enjoy the Cool Dog Show, an action-packed performance featuring incredible canine stunts and tricks! These talented pups will amaze the audience with their agility, high-flying jumps, and impressive obedience skills.
