Thinking about adopting a furry friend? Bradshaw Animal Shelter will be open to the public from noon to 5 p.m., with waived adoption fees for dogs and cats. Included in each pet's adoption is their spay/neuter surgery, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations, monthly preventatives and a one-year license for Sacramento County residents.

Festivalgoers will receive an official event tote bag filled with goodies while supplies last.

​Food trucks 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 fallen Sacramento County animal control officer Roy C. Marcum, who was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 28, 2012. The event commemorates Officer Marcum’s legacy while promoting responsible pet ownership and animal welfare in the community.
