Every year, thousands of animals in Kern County wait for their forever homes, and together, we can make a life-changing difference. On Saturday, November 14, 2026, we’re organizing a one-day event to connect hundreds of homeless and abandoned pets with loving families. With your support, we can give these animals the second chance they deserve while showcasing your business to thousands of local animal lovers.

The 8th annual Kern Mega Adoption Event is a one-day pet adoption and resource extravaganza held in Kern County. Participating California animal shelters, pet rescues, and vendors that produce pet-related products bring adoptable pets and resources together at one location to offer potential and current pet parents the opportunity to take home a dog or cat at a reduced adoption fee, and to spoil their own pets with a host of locally provided pet care products. Most animals available for adoption are ready to take home that day and are fixed and fully vaccinated.

The event is free to the public and will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 11am until 4pm.
