Tri County Adopt-A-thon

BOCA RATON — The Tri County Humane Society recently completed three mega rescues, rescuing more than 100 dogs from death row.  To celebrate and help them find new homes, an Adopt-a-Thon is being held Sunday, May 6 from 11 am to 3 pm at the shelter, 21287 Boca Rio Road, Boca Raton.

Tri County will hold its first-ever ‘Doggie Speed Dating.  The event is organized so that visitors can chat, ask questions, and check out the chemistry in a string of one-on-one interactive sessions lasting five minutes each.  At the end of five minutes, a bell will ring, and participants will have a few minutes to fill out a “Score Card” as to whether you would like to see a particular dog again for final consideration.

Challenge your dog on Zoom Room of Coconut Creek’s Agility Course.  This will be in an enclosed area, so you can safely have your dog off leash.

There will be demonstrations throughout the day including pet acupuncture and a discussion regarding Calusa Veterinary Center’s new hyperbaric oxygen therapy by Dr. Andrew Turkell.  Charley’s Canine College will demonstrate training techniques.  Also, visit the open market of pet related products and services.

Fun events for children include a petting zoo and pony rides courtesy of Mill Pond Farm.

Tri County Humane Society is a 100% no kill animal shelter that rescues and re-homes over 1,500 dogs and cats per year.

This is a pet friendly event.  Please be sure that your pet is up to date on vaccinations.  Please do not bring puppies that have not completed their full course of vaccines.  Pet dogs will not be allowed in the Shelter.  If you are looking to adopt a dog as a companion for your pet, safe ‘meet and greets’ can be arranged.
