California Adopt-a-Pet Day & Pints for Paws: Two Celebrations with Purpose
On Saturday, June 6, 2026, Berkeley Humane will host two exciting events in one incredible day, all at the same location and all in support of animals in need.
The day begins with California Adopt-a-Pet Day, where Berkeley Humane will proudly serve as one of 150 participating locations statewide offering fee-waived adoptions for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. More than 60 adoptable animals will be available, each ready to find a loving home. Last year, every single pet was adopted. Let’s make it happen again!
Later that afternoon, the celebration continues with Pints for Paws, now in its 12th year. This award-winning community party brings together more than 1,000 animal lovers from across the Bay Area for an unforgettable afternoon featuring unlimited tastings of craft beers, artisanal wines, handcrafted vodkas, delicious food, live music, and great company all to help save more shelter animals.
