Broward County's Animal Care agency, in an effort observed during Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, is hosting the "Fall in Love - Empty the Shelters" campaign, offering free pet adoptions from October 1 to 15. This opportunity comes as a partnership with the Bissell Pet Foundation, which is footing the bill normally covered by adoption fees.
Prospective pet parents have the chance to welcome a vaccinated, sterilized, and microchipped animal into their homes, with only a $25 pet registration fee to consider. "October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and there's no better time to bring home a new best friend," Doug Brightwell, Director of Broward County Animal Care, explained in a statement obtained by Broward.org. His sentiments reflect a call to the community, to open homes and hearts to the many animals in need of a loving environment.
For individuals not ready to adopt, Broward County Animal Care encourages community members to consider fostering or supporting shelter pets in alternative ways. Detailed information on how to get involved can be found on their website or by direct outreach via phone. Interested parties are invited to visit Broward.org/Animal to view adoptable dogs and cats, or they may call 954-357-9758 for more information.
