From Friday, December 19 through Sunday, December 21, 2014, Nassau County Animal Services participated in a mega adoption event in Jacksonville titled "Home for the Holidays". This event was sponsored by First Coast No More Homeless Pets and Petsmart Charities and featured over 1,000 adoptable pets from Duval, Clay and Nassau County. Adoptions fees were $20 and included spay/neutering, micro-chipping, vaccines, and city/county licensing. A total of 856 pets were adopted overall, 72 of those from Nassau County.
No More Homeless Pets is a non-profit group that strives to help local shelters reach no-kill status which is generally defined as having more than a 90% live release rate. Through partnerships with other animal advocacy groups, No More Homeless Pets is able to provide these costly adoption events several times per year. The results indicate that this program is working as an astounding 7,000 pets have been adopted since this program began in 2012.
Great job to everyone involved!
