The fourth annual Countdown 2 Zero (C2Z)
Adoption Event, presented by the Lois Pope LIFE Foundation, Inc. and Petco
Foundation, will take place on Saturday, September 9, 2017, from 10 am to 5 pm
inside the air-conditioned Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm
Beach. This free event is the largest ever local pet adoption event that
will feature close to 1,000 animals (dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, birds,
rabbits and guinea pigs) seeking new families and homes.
Organized
by Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and Palm Beach County Animal Care and
Control, the Countdown 2 Zero Adoption Event is a collaborative effort of over
30 local animal rescue organizations to save the lives of animals in Palm Beach
County. The past three C2Z adoption events found nearly 1,000 animals
their forever homes.
Admission
and parking is free for the Countdown 2 Zero Adoption Event. Many of the rescue
groups will be offering special discounts and adoption incentives, and all new
pet parents will receive special gifts. In addition, rabies license tags
will be complimentary for each adopted pet that will reside in Palm Beach
County. (Please leave owned pets at home.)
