“Our Megas provide a lifeline for so many pets who have lost everything. It’s truly inspiring to see these pets chosen by families eager to give them a new life full of love,” said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA CEO. “As the largest adoption event in the country, our goal with the size and format is to save even more lives by reaching folks who might not otherwise consider coming to a shelter to adopt.”
Clear The Shelters
Finding forever homes across the country
A limited number of early access Fast Passes will be available for purchase. Fast Passes give potential adopters access an hour ahead of general admission.
If you are interested in adopting, organizers recommend bringing a leash and collar for a dog adoption, a carrier for a cat, a valid ID, and the adoption fee.
Leashes and collars will be available for purchase, and cardboard carriers for cats will be available as well.
“Through our Megas, we also strive to help other shelters tap into the adoption community in this region, including local shelters in need of a boost, and those in areas of the country where there are more pets who need homes than adopters,” Lamb added. “Every adoption equals two lives saved, as it opens a space for another animal in need.”
