For those looking to adopt a new furry companion, the Bradshaw Animal Shelter will waive adoption fees for dogs and cats during the festival, from Noon to 5 p.m. Adoptions include spay/neuter surgery, a microchip, vaccinations, monthly preventatives, and a one-year license for Sacramento County residents.
Early attendees will receive an official event tote bag filled with goodies, available while supplies last. The event’s food truck lineup will include: Señor Burger, Pinorrito , The Fry Boys, Daisy’s Desserts and Softy Star Sweets
The Roy C. Marcum Animal Care Faire was established in 2022 to honor animal control officer Roy C. Marcum, who was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 28, 2012. The event pays tribute to Officer Marcum’s legacy while encouraging responsible pet ownership and animal welfare in the community. The festival is made possible by the support of its sponsors, including Sky River Casino, Kim Pacini-Hauch RE/MAX Gold Sierra Oaks, and Berg Injury Lawyers.
