The biggest pet adoption event of the year is just around the corner! Best Friends' Super Adoption will showcase hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats from rescues and shelters all across the region. This year's Super Adoption, scheduled for Saturday, November 14, from 10 am to 5 pm, is a single-day extravaganza of lifesaving. It will take place at the Campus Plaza on the beautiful grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and will feature local vendors, prizes, food, music, and of course, lots of adorable, adoptable pets who are looking for homes just like yours. Last year's Super Adoption helped more than 230 pets find homes, including every cat at the event. Let us know you're planning to attend, and we'll send you reminders before the event so you don't miss out on any of the fun. Plus, we’ll keep you in the loop with heartwarming rescue stories, fun events, and other ways to get involved.
