Pet of the Week: Meet Kimi from Riverside County Animal Services

Veronica Perez from Riverside County Animal Services joined us this morning with Kimi, an energetic 13-week-old brown brindle and white Bull Terrier mix looking for her forever home.

Kimi (shelter id: A1896699) will be available for FREE adoption today at the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival, running February 12 through March 1 at 46350 Arabia St. in Indio. Look for the Riverside County Animal Services tent near the south entrance by the ride ticket booths. Hours are weekdays 3-6 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m.-5 p.m. All adopted dogs go home the same day with microchip, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, and an engraved ID tag included.
