By St. Lucie County June 17, 2024

Several local governments, nonprofits and animal rescue organizations will come together June 28-29, 2024 to host the 2nd Annual Florida’s Petco Love Mega Adoption Event at the Havert L. Fenn Center.

This year, the Humane Society of St. Lucie County, SPCA of Brevard Adoption Center, Brevard County Sheriff's Office Animal Services, City of Fort Pierce Animal Control and St. Lucie County’s Animal Safety are coming together under one roof to provide free pet adoptions from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Friday, June 28th and Saturday, June 29th at the Havert L. Fenn Center, 2000 Virginia Aveue, Fort Pierce.

Please note that there will be no animals under 6 months of age at this event. Puppies, kittens and other animals that are not a part of the adoption event will be available for adoption at the local rescue facilities at their regular adoption fee.

Last year through the Petco Love Mega Adoption event 1,928 dogs and cats found new, loving homes across the state.

According to the most recent nationwide data, Florida ranks 46th in the nation when it comes to saving the lives of pets in shelters. In 2021, nearly 22,616 dogs and cats were killed in animal shelters across Florida. With help from Petco Love, local animal shelters aim to close that gap by finding homes for 5,000 pets in three days. For more details visit: https://megaadoptflorida.com.
