Love is in the air during the Humane Society of Broward County’s annual “Adopt a Sweetheart” event. Whether you’re looking for a pooch to smooch or a cat to cuddle, you can find the Valentine of your dreams waiting for you at the adoption center. Stroll through the “Tunnel of Love” to find a feline friend or visit “Lover’s Lane” to meet the pooches. The fun takes place February 14th – 16th with the adoption kennels opening early on Valentine’s Day – 10:00 a.m. For those early visitors enjoy special treats and be sure to pick up some goodies at the bake sale.
There are currently over 100 pets looking for love, and Cupid has arranged for the adoption fee to be half price for pets one year of age and older. Thanks to our friends at BrightStar Credit Union, select pets will even have their adoption fees underwritten. Regular adoption fees for pets over a year are $125 for dogs and $30 for cats. Mobile Mike from iHeart Media will also be stopping by to showcase some of the animals.
All pets are spayed or neutered before going home. They also receive preliminary vaccinations, a 14-day health care plan courtesy of VCA Animal Hospitals, microchip, heartworm test for dogs over 7 months, feline leukemia test, a bag of Purina ONE food and more.
The HSBC is conveniently located at 2070 Griffin Road, just a block west of I-95. Adoption hours are Monday – Saturday 10:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. and Sunday 10:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. For more information visit www.humanebroward.com or call 954-989-3977.
