Mega Pet Adoption Event

from July 2023 City Manager's Report

Police Department Shares Overview With City Commission

The Fort Pierce Animal Adoption Center joined together with the Humane Society of St. Lucie County, St. Lucie County Animal Safety, Services and Protection as well as many of our local animal rescue groups to host a Mega Pet Adoption Event the weekend of June 23 – 25th at the Havert L. Fenn Center. Each organization participated in the planning and management of the event to show the community that we are all working towards the same goal – finding homes for our homeless animals. The event was, without question, a Mega Success! From our own Animal Adoption Center room, 28 animals were adopted!! And while adoption fees were waived for most adoptions, the support of the community provided almost $1,200.00 in donations, which will be used to provide care for the animals still waiting to find their new family.

We congratulate all the adopters who have a new family member and thank everyone who helped make the event a success. We are looking forward to working with our community partners on future joint events.
