An interactive summer challenge at Valencia Town Center invites participants to explore, shop, dine, and play while completing activities for points. Sign up at no cost, take on tasks like discovering new stores, enjoying a meal, attending events, or sharing your experiences, and watch your points grow. Those points put you in the running for weekly giveaways, bonus rewards throughout the season, and a grand prize package when the campaign concludes. New activities and the list of weekly winners are announced every Friday, keeping the experience fresh week after week.

At Petco, this adoption event offers a chance to meet adorable rescue dogs who are ready to become part of a family. No appointment is required, though you may schedule a time in advance to meet a specific pup, and a reservation will hold that dog for the event so you can meet in person. Each dog is adopted with health records and comprehensive care, including vaccinations, de-worming, flea and tick prevention, microchipping, and spay or neuter surgery. Adoption fees vary by dog and start at $250, treated as a donation that helps care for over 500 dogs, with a portion eligible for tax deduction. For information or assistance, call or text 888-508-8943.
