4th ANNUAL BIG DOGS ROCK ADOPTION EVENT
Because Size Matters!
Hosted By: The San Diego Animal Support Foundation
Sunday, August 8th, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Fiesta Island…across from Fenced Off-Leash Beach near the OTL area.


When it comes to dogs….SIZE MATTERS! If you love big dogs, join us on Fiesta Island for a
very special adoption event featuring BIG DOGS ONLY (large breeds), and puppies that will
eventually be big dogs! This is an ANNUAL event, bringing together 18 of San Diego’s
finest non-profit rescue agencies and shelters, featuring 150 large dogs all in one place!
The Big Dogs Rock Adoption Event was designed to make the adoption process easier for
people who prefer large breeds, bringing them to just one place where they can find their perfect
pet among hundreds of big dogs. It’s become one of the largest, most popular annual adoption
events in San Diego.
The economy continues to plague the animal welfare community, and there simply are not
enough homes for large dogs. So, this year’s event will also focus on encouraging big dog
lovers to come out and learn how to become a temporary foster guardian. Foster families
prevent dogs from being killed in shelters. Rescue agencies and shelters provide all food and
medical care while the dogs are in foster homes, so it costs the foster guardian nothing to save
a life. Potential foster families will get a chance to meet and interview representatives from
18 local agencies to find the one they like best.
To help transition adopted dogs to their new homes, all dogs will go home with goodies,
including quality health food, shampoo/conditioner, toys, and gift certificates for free services
like pet-sitting, dog walking and grooming! Adoption fees vary by organization.
If you think bigger is better, come to this four-hour adoption event on Fiesta Island! Bring your
own dog to play on the famous off-leash dog beach, and maybe take home your new best friend
or four-legged foster dog! Call 619-847-8755 for more info.
