Mission Viejo is currently home to two lively sister pugs, Amber and Autumn, who are in search of a loving new family. These 9-month-old pug mixes are being offered for adoption at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center, and there is an enticing buy-one-get-one-free adoption fee that encourages prospective pet owners to adopt both dogs together.
Amber and Autumn are not only known for their entertaining antics but are also characterized by their strong bond, often crying or whining when they are separated from each other. This close companionship is beneficial for both the dogs and their future owners, as it aids in alleviating separation anxiety when their humans are away. The active duo thrives in environments where they can spend ample time indoors, yet they are adaptable and would do well in nearly any household.
Due to their active nature, Amber and Autumn require consistent exercise. By adopting them together, families gain the advantage of built-in companionship, offering both emotional support and engaging playtime that keeps them happy and healthy.
To support the adoption effort, the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is organizing an event dubbed Fur-Ever Friends Fall Festival. Scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 11, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the festival will take place at 28095 Hillcrest. Attendees will have a chance to learn about various adoption opportunities while enjoying other festive activities, such as exploring a pumpkin patch and participating in fun interactions with adoptable pets.
In other encouraging news, the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center has recently implemented a program called Wild Tunes, created by a 12-year-old named Yuvi Agarwal. This unique initiative invites volunteer musicians to perform live music for shelter animals, aiming to calm and soothe the creatures. The music helps to foster a positive association between the shelter pets and their human visitors, which in turn is believed to increase their chances of finding permanent homes.
The center is actively seeking more volunteer musicians and singers to join the Wild Tunes program. Those interested in becoming involved can find more information by visiting the Wild Tunes volunteer site or by contacting the shelter directly.
This combination of community engagement and special adoption offers is part of the wider mission of the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center to find loving homes for animals in need. Amber, Autumn, and other pets at the shelter are eagerly waiting for new families to welcome them into their lives, turning the adoption process into a heartwarming experience for everyone involved.
As the festival approaches and with the special partnership adoption fee in effect, the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center invites all residents to consider adding a furry friend to their home and to participate in giving these charming pugs the forever home they deserve.
