Habbas & Associates Sponsors Adoption Fees at San José Animal Care Center for Heartfelt Event
On March 28, 2026, Habbas & Associates will proudly sponsor a special adoption event at the San José Animal Care Center. Dubbed 'Ruff on Injustice with a Heart for Paws Day', the law firm will cover all adoption fees, making it a remarkable opportunity for those looking to adopt a furry companion. This initiative aims to rehome at least 150 pets, ensuring they find loving, permanent homes throughout San Jose and Santa Clara County.
The event will run from 10 AM to 4 PM at the San José Animal Care Center located at 2750 Monterey Road, San José, CA 95111. The shelter's team is preparing to assist potential adopters in finding their ideal pet. Every animal available for adoption will come fully vetted, with vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and microchipping included. This thorough preparation aims to ensure that each adopted companion is ready for a new chapter in their lives.
Jennifer Maguire, the City Manager of San José, expressed gratitude for Habbas & Associates’ support, stating, "I would like to thank Habbas Law for their generosity in supporting ACS' mission to be an ally to animals in need." She highlights the importance of community partnerships in addressing the influx of animals, especially during the busy 'kitten season'.
The San José Animal Care Center has historically faced the challenge of increased admissions of young and vulnerable animals when spring and summer arrive. In response to this challenge, the collaborative adoption event has been created not just to alleviate the shelter's burden but to facilitate greater opportunities for animals in need.
Mayor Matt Mahan of San José also expressed his appreciation: "Every animal that comes through our shelter deserves a home. Thanks to Habbas Law, we can waive adoption fees and help 150 more pets find the forever homes they deserve." This sentiment echoes the commitment shared by local agencies and partners to promote animal welfare in the community.
Beyond facilitating adoptions, Habbas & Associates aims to enhance the overall experience for attendees. During the event, visitors can enjoy a variety of offerings including food trucks and booths hosted by community vendors, creating a festive atmosphere. Families are invited to spend the day enjoying activities, with the hope of bringing home a new pet.
Attorney Omar Habbas, the founding attorney of Habbas & Associates, has a history of contributing to charitable causes, including the support of youth and health organizations. His passion for animal welfare is evident through this initiative, stating, "Animals don't end up in shelters because they did something wrong. They end up here because something in their world fell apart. Underwriting these adoptions is about easing fear, restoring trust, and giving animals what they need most, a life beyond a shelter door." This philosophy underscores the vital importance of community engagement and support in fostering a compassionate environment for all creatures.
For more information regarding the adoption event, individuals can visit the official City of San José website or reach out to Habbas & Associates for further details about their ongoing initiatives. This collaboration is an inspiring reminder of how civic duty, community responsibility, and a love for animals can intersect to effect meaningful change.
Prospective adopters and animal lovers are encouraged to join in this special day, creating lasting memories while providing lifelong homes to deserving pets. Together, we can work towards a future where every animal finds its rightful place in a loving family setting.
