Sunnyvale Turns Out for the Annual Turkey Trot to Support Pets In Need

Adopt a Pet in Time for the Holidays!

Hello, I'm Cirilla, but you can call me Ciri. I'm not just smart, I'm also incredibly sweet. I love to give and receive affection. Playtime is my favorite time of the day, whether it's a game of fetch or a tug-of-war.

Hi there, I'm Max! My tail never stops wagging. I'm full of energy and love to play fetch or go for walks. I'm super friendly and get along with everyone I meet.

All pets adopted from the Town of Sunnyvale will be vaccinated, de-wormed, spayed or neutered and microchipped. If not been done, the adopter will receive a voucher to have them done. All fees are waived to adopt any of our pets.

If your family is ready to add a member, we currently have many adoptable animals in our shelter looking for a new place to call home. Learn more by visiting our Petfinder page or calling (214) 862-4525.

Don't Pour Fats, Oils and Grease Down Your Drains!

The holidays are a wonderful time for delicious fried turkeys, buttery dishes, and savory gravies, but these tasty treats can wreak havoc on your plumbing. When fats, oils, and grease (FOG) are poured down the drain, they stick to the inside of pipes, gradually hardening and building up until they cause major clogs and sewer backups. This can lead to sewage overflows into homes, streets, and waterways, resulting in costly and inconvenient repairs. Overflowing sewers can also force city crews to shut down streets, causing traffic disruptions and additional expenses for residents and municipalities.

Join the 2024 Holiday Grease Roundup!

Instead of pouring your grease down the drain, participate in the Holiday Grease Roundup and recycle it for free! Visit the Holiday Grease Roundup website to find out how you can properly dispose of fats, oil and grease and defend your drains!
