Adoption Event With the holidays in full swing, it really is the most wonderful time of year here at Animal Friends. From generous donations of much-needed goods and monetary pledges to the time that our volunteers give, we are witness to so much love and compassion every day. And it’s always sweet when a family finds their new member and takes him out of our care and into their home forever. This December, we’re hoping to make lots of holiday wishes come true with our Choose Your Family Member Adoption Event. Our kennels will be chock full of great pets – perfect for a family home. Be sure to stop by on Dec. 11-13. Last year, this event helped dozens of dogs, cats and rabbits to find homes during the holiday season and we’re hoping to have another successful year of making forever matches! Read on to find out what other great events we have going on this season at Animal Friends and from all of us here at Animal Friends, we wish you, and yours, the absolute merriest this joyous time of year.
