Broward County Animal Care is inviting residents to “fall in love” during its Empty the Shelter campaign, offering free pet adoptions from October 1 to 15.
The adoptions are available daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Broward County Animal Care, located at 2400 SW 42nd Street in Fort Lauderdale.
The shelter currently houses over 180 dogs and is operating critically over capacity.
“These animals are waiting for their fresh start, and we hope families throughout the region will open their hearts and homes,” said Doug Brightwell, Broward County Animal Care Director, adding that the shelter staff is excited to see how many lives they can change through this campaign, both for the pets and their new owners.
The Bissell Pet Foundation will cover adoption fees, and all adopted pets are fully vaccinated, sterilized, and microchipped.
