Pet Super Adoptions
Best Friends Pet Super Adoptions are coming this spring.
Hundreds of dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and even rabbits will be available for adoption from local shelters and rescue groups in select locations.
What is a Pet Super Adoption?
It's a cooperative effort in which multiple animal groups get together in a free, fun, festival-like atmosphere to adopt out hundreds of animals during a limited period of time. Additionally, it's a fun, positive way for the general public to see adoptable animals in a unique setting.
What to expect
Each participating rescue group and shelter at the event will have their own adoption application, interview process, and adoption fees. Adoption fees help groups cover costs like spay/neuter and updated vaccinations, as well as any critical medical costs. If you are planning on adopting an animal, we recommend coming prepared with a valid form of identification, payment method, and ideally a letter of permission/reference from your landlord if you rent your home. Please note that all of the shelters and many of the participating groups offer same-day adoptions, however, some groups require home checks as part of their application process.
