The holidays are quickly approaching and many of you guys want to give back to the community! We have just the way for you to do that this holiday season.

Did you know that estimates show there are nearly 245,000 additional pets (waiting for homes) in the shelter system this holiday season? The shelter population has grown by nearly a quarter million animals in 2023 alone.

This holiday season, take a shelter pet "Home for the Holidays". If your family is considering bringing a new furry friend into your home, our shelter is urging you to Adopt instead of purchasing. Adoption fees are waived through the month of December and we have so many amazing pets - surely, at least one for every family.

If you're not ready to adopt, please consider fostering through the holidays and give our pets a much needed shelter break. This is a great way to give back to the community from the comfort of your own home!

If you have teenagers that need community service hours, we will provide community service hours for each two weeks of one adult pet in foster care. Bonus hours if you successfully find a home for your foster pet!!! Fostering is FREE!

We will provide all supplies: food, crate, collar, leash! All you need to provide is the love.

To explore the wide array of pets available for adoption or fostering, interested individuals can browse the online gallery of adoptable pets at https://secure.co.palm-beach.fl.us/snap/home or visit PBCACC in person. No appointment needed. Adoption Center hours are Monday through Friday, noon to 6 p.m.; Saturday, noon to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
