Standard Broward County pet registration fees still apply.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The national initiative aims to reduce barriers to pet adoption while allowing animal shelters to care for additional dogs and cats in need of homes. Broward County Animal Care has dogs and cats of all ages, breeds and sizes available for adoption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every adopted pet is spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before going home.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cEvery adoption removes a barrier for another animal waiting for help,\u201d said Doug Brightwell, director of Broward County Animal Care. \u201cThrough our partnership with BISSELL Pet Foundation, we\u2019re making it easier for families to say \u2018yes\u2019 to adoption while creating much-needed space to care for more homeless pets. When you adopt, you\u2019re not just changing one animal\u2019s life\u2014you make it possible for us to serve the next one, too.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Community members are encouraged to visit the shelter, meet the adoptable animals and experience the impact adoption can have on both pets and families.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The adoption event runs daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through July 26 at Broward County Animal Care, 2400 SW 42nd St. in Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Residents can browse adoptable pets online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broward.org\/Animal\/Pages\/adoptions.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">PetAdoptions.Broward.org<\/a> or visit the shelter in person.
