On October 24, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the Saratoga County Animal Shelter will hold an adoption clinic organized by Saratoga County District Attorney Brett Eby, Sheriff Jeff Brown, and local family members Jason Nelson and Kent Nelson. The event aims to connect shelter animals with prospective owners.
The clinic will operate within the shelter’s main facility, offering prospective adopters the chance to meet a variety of dogs, cats, and other animals currently housed by the county. Staff from the shelter will be present to provide information on each animal’s health, temperament, and adoption requirements.
The involvement of the district‑enforcement officials and the sheriff’s department reflects a partnership between law‑enforcement officials and the Nelson family, who have a history of supporting local animal welfare initiatives. Their joint effort underscores a community‑wide focus on reducing the number of animals awaiting permanent homes.
The adoption clinic runs for three and a half hours, beginning at 11:00 a.m. and concluding at 2:30 p.m. Community members interested in adopting are encouraged to attend the Saratoga County Animal Shelter on the scheduled date. The event provides a direct avenue for residents to provide shelter animals with new, caring homes.
In addition to meeting the animals, attendees will find a registration area where basic adoption paperwork can be completed on site. District Attorney Brett Eby and Sheriff Jeff Brown will be available to address any legal or procedural questions that adopters may have, while Jason Nelson and Kent Nelson will offer guidance on animal care and integration into a household. The shelter staff will conduct health checks and provide vaccination records for each pet before finalizing an adoption.
