Posted

Collier County Domestic Animal Services is proudly joining forces with Petco Love, a national nonprofit leading and inspiring change for pets, and animal welfare groups across the state of Florida on a shared mission to find homes for 2,000 dogs and cats in shelters. The Petco Love Florida MEGA Adoption Event will take place on June 27, 28, and 29 in Petco pet care centers and local animal shelters throughout Florida. 

According to the most recent nationwide data, Florida ranks 46th in the nation when it comes to saving the lives of pets in shelters. In 2024, 37,683 dogs and cats were euthanized in animal shelters across Florida.With help from Petco Love, local animal shelters are aiming to close that gap by finding homes for 2,000 pets in three days. 

1,949 dogs and cats found new, loving homes during the 2024 Petco Love Florida MEGA Adoption Event. The 2025 event will include nearly 50 organizations across 31 counties, and thousands of pets will be available for adoption. All pets will be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations. All adoption fees will be waived; some exclusions may apply.  

Locally, pets will be available at Collier County Domestic Animal Services, 7610 Davis Blvd. Naples, FL, 34104 on June 27, 28, and 29 from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.  

“There is nothing more powerful than the moment a shelter pet meets their new family, and that’s the heart of this incredible statewide event,” said Susanne Kogut, President of Petco Love. “By uniting animal welfare organizations across Florida, we’re not only finding homes for pets, we’re creating thousands of new beginnings filled with hope, healing, and unconditional love. That’s the power of community, and that’s the power of love.” 

“This event is an incredible opportunity to bring our community together in a statewide effort to save lives. With waived adoption fees, all pets spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and a shared goal of finding homes for 2,000 cats and dogs across Florida, Mega Adopt Florida embodies compassion, teamwork, and real impact. It is events like this that help make a lasting difference for animals and for the families who open their hearts and homes,” said Meredith McLean, Division Director of Collier County Domestic Animal Services.
