“We are excited to find forever homes for pets at this fun event at the beach,” ACPS Division Chief Jennifer Walter said. “Our shelter is located in the Brooklyn area of Riverside, so many adopters from the beaches do not get the opportunity to see the wide variety of loving pets we have for adoption at ACPS.”
Other pet adoption agencies participating in the event include:
- Jacksonville Humane Society

- Atlantic Beach Animal Control
Vendors and food trucks will be on site for the event, including:

Due to COVID-19, masks and social distancing are required.
“This is a great opportunity to meet your new best friend since a variety of pet adoption agencies will be showcasing adoptable pets. Thanks to the Petco Foundation, adoptions are free, so this is an ideal time to find that perfect furry companion,” said Walter.
