Helen Colombo stands watch as Lindsay Borg gets kissed by Pepper at the Smooch the Pooch Booth during the SPCA valentine event on Feb. 11, 2012.

Both the SPCA and the San Francisco Animal Care and Control shelter sponsored a pre-Valentine’s weekend pet adoption event, February 11 and 12. There were lectures, art making, a puppy kissing booth, education and lots of animals finding new homes. The weekend adoption event might be over, but you can give these animals a caring home any time of year.
