North Florida Pet Adoption Day Offers Free Adoptions for Adult Pets June 7

GAINESVILLE — Animal lovers across North Central Florida are invited to meet their future furry family members during North Florida Pet Adoption Day, set for Saturday, June 7, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Humane Society of North Central Florida, 4205 NW 6th Street in Gainesville.

Presented by VyStar Credit Union and supported by a grant from the ASPCA, the event aims to ease the burden on local animal shelters by finding homes for over 100 cats and dogs. Adoption fees for all adult pets—five months and older—will be waived for the day.

This is a great opportunity to not only save a life but also gain a loyal companion. Spring and summer months are the busiest seasons, and kennels are overflowing with animals ready for loving homes.

All adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and can go home the same day. While no pre-holds or early adoptions are permitted for puppies, adult pets will be available for immediate placement with an approved adoption application.

Visitors can meet animals in free-roaming cat rooms and dog kennels, though entry to dog areas requires a pre-approved application. Prospective adopters are encouraged to preview available animals and submit their applications in advance by visiting humanesocietyncfl.org/adopt.

From playful kittens and seasoned lap cats to energetic pups and mellow adult dogs, organizers say there’s a perfect pet for every household.

“Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy or a couch companion, you’re likely to find your match at this event,” organizers added.
