Adopting a Pet
Animals are important to us, and we know they are important to you too! We support animal shelters all throughout our region in various capacities and encourage our members to get involved. South Coast Shelters are always in need of volunteers, food donations, and of course, families to adopt their furry friends. Ask your local shelter how you can help or check out Fun 107's Wet Nose Wednesday for available animals in your area.
