“The Adoption Fiesta will celebrate San Antonio’s annual party with an inclusive celebration featuring hundreds of adoption-ready pets and a parade of foster dogs,” a news release states.

The event is free and open to the public.

More than 30 local vendors will sell food, drinks and services in the pop-up market. Some food trucks include Tony’s Kitchen, Dos Perro’s Coffee and Mamas Tacos.

The news release states the goal is to find placement for up to 100 pets. Dogs and cats adopted from ACS go home sterilized, microchipped and vaccinated.

Pet owners can also take advantage of training sessions with the shelter’s certified canine trainer.
