It’s an opportunity to connect with local shelters and rescue organizations, learn about the adoption process, and find your perfect furry friend. * Visit Local Shelters: Take a trip to your local shelter and meet the animals waiting for their forever homes. * Learn About the Adoption Process: Understand the steps involved in adopting a pet, from paperwork to post-adoption support.
