Pet Adoptions Free in Assemblyman’s #Steinorth100 Fair

Assemblyman Marc Steinorth is hosting a free adoption fair through Sunday, where he plans to cover the adoption costs of the first 100 pets from four San Bernardino County animal shelters.

Steinorth, of the 40th assembly district, wants to raise awareness to AB 797, which protects citizens from civil and criminal liability for breaking a window and damaging a car to rescue an animal trapped in a hot car.

"Costly adoption fees make it difficult for some to add a new pet to their family. There are so many pets waiting to be adopted from overcrowded shelters," Steinorth said in a news release.

Costs of pet sterilizations, initial vaccines and microchip for the first 100 dogs and cats adopted will be covered.

"When looking to get a new pet, people should look in their local shelters. The animals here are just as excited to join a family as families are to have a new addition," Steinorth said.
