Local dogs got a fresh start at a Sunday adoption event in Jacksonville, hosted by K9s For Warriors, local shelters and PDQ.<\/p>\n

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 For some local dogs, Sunday was a chance at a fresh start.<\/p>\n

K9s For Warriors partnered with the Jacksonville Humane Society, SAFE Animal Shelter and PDQ to host a community adoption event in Bartram Park aimed at helping dogs find their forever homes.<\/p>\n

The free event took place at PDQ on Old St. Augustine Road and featured 16 adoptable dogs.<\/p>\n

Among them were Bucky, Charmy and Denali \u2014 three dogs who had collectively spent nearly a year-and-a-half waiting for permanent homes.<\/p>\n

Organizers said many of the dogs available for adoption have training foundations and are ready to join loving families.<\/p>\n

PDQ hosted the event as part of its efforts to support local animal welfare organizations and bring attention to pets in need of adoption.<\/p>\n

Chloe Doyle, a dog owner herself and a member of the PDQ team, said events like this help connect animals with potential adopters while highlighting the responsibilities that come with pet ownership.<\/p>\n

“I think it teaches you patience and responsibility, and I think it’s a good choice to own a dog because it can help you when you’re becoming an adult, or even becoming a child, learn the responsibilities of taking care of another,” Doyle said.<\/p>\n

For those who missed Sunday’s event, PDQ said it plans to host more adoption events in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Local dogs got a fresh start at a Sunday adoption event in Jacksonville, hosted by K9s For Warriors,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-291012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
