With Valentine’s Day around the corner, the traditional pursuit of romance has a different twist in San Diego. Animal lovers can spin to win their next companion at the San Diego County Department of Animal Services. In their latest promotion, dubbed "You Make My Heart Spin," potential pet parents can land an adoption fee of $20 or less at the local shelters.

According to the County News Center, the campaign is in full swing and will run up through February 14th. Whether it's dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, or even turtles, there's an array of animals waiting to find a forever home to share not just a holiday but a lifetime of moments.

For those ready to welcome a new furry or scaly member to the family, check out the available pets on the Animal Services website. The adoption package includes a slew of essentials: spaying or neutering, a microchip, updated vaccinations, and for the local dog adopters, a one-year dog license.

In a sweet deal, animals that have stayed beyond 30 days in shelter are openly eager to be brought into loving homes with no adoption fees. Heart-warming opportunities are waiting at both the South Shelter at 5821 Sweetwater Road in Bonita and the North Shelter at 2481 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad, where walk-in hours are adaptable to most schedules from Tuesday to Sunday.

If committing to adoption isn't in the cards, the shelter reminds folks that fostering is always an option and doesn't cost a dime. Even a brief homestay can greatly improve an animal's well-being. The department supplies all the essentials, from food to bedding, for the foster program.

The shelter welcomes pet food donations and volunteers for those interested in giving back beyond adoptions or fostering. Further details are available by calling (619) 767-2675 or visiting the Animal Services main website for guidance.
