St. Lucie County Animal Safety Hosts Three-Day Dog Days of Summer Adoption Event from August 29 to 31
St. Lucie County’s Animal Protection, Services, and Safety Division is hosting a Dog Days of Summer adoption event from August 29 to 31 at the county animal shelter, located at 3404 W. Midway Road in Fort Pierce.
Animals that have been at the county’s facility for more than 30 days will be available for adoption at no cost, while animals that have been at the facility for less than 30 days will be available for adoption at half price.
Approximately 25 to 30 dogs are available for this event (puppies, small dogs, large dogs). While no cats are available at this time, that may change between now and the adoption event.
The Dog Days of Summer adoption event will take place on Thursday, August 29, Friday, August 30, and Saturday, August 31, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
