"If you're looking to add a new member to your family, visit us at any of our locations. Or, you know, visit us, visit our friends at any of our rescues, that are local as well."
The El Paso Animal Services hosted the carnival that included jumping balloons, music, food trucks, local vendors and a pet costume contest.
BISSELL Pets Empty the Shelters program offered fee-waived adoptions of cats and dogs. Discounted vaccines were also available.
