The Jacksonville Humane Society will hold three pet adoption events across two Beach Boulevard locations during Halloween weekend, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
At the organization’s main shelter, 8464 Beach Blvd., “The Great Pumpkin Paw-ty” is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dog adopters will draw from a trick-or-treat basket to determine their adoption fee.
The same shelter will host “Missy’s Free Cat and Kitten Adoptions” from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Adoption fees for cats and kittens will be waived during the event, which the humane society says is sponsored annually by a local family in memory of their cat, Missy.
A separate mobile event, “Meet Your New Best Friend,” is planned for Sunday, Nov. 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Walmart at 13490 Beach Blvd. Adoption fees will be waived for dogs present at that off-site event.
Adoptions will be handled first come, first served, according to the humane society, and additional fees may apply. Prospective adopters can preview available animals online before attending.
