For the fifth time in four years, the Fort Worth Animal Shelter and the Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT) will co-host the two-day MEGA adoption event on Saturday and Sunday December 18-19, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, Cattle Barn No. 1. Admission is free.

The goal of the MEGA adoption event is to find forever and loving homes for over 1,000 pets, just in time for the holidays. This is a family event where everyone can find their favorite dog, puppy, cat, kitten or small animal. The adoption fee for all pets is only $ 10.

All adoptable cats and dogs have been spayed or neutered, microchipped, and given age-appropriate rabies vaccines. Each dog or cat adopter will receive a free first vet visit with a participating local vet and a 30-day trial of pet insurance.

“Once again, our animal shelter campuses are full,” said Dr. Tim Morton, assistant director of code compliance overseeing the Fort Worth animal shelter. “We have great animals that need to be adopted into their own loving families. This event is a perfect opportunity to do so as there will be close to 1,000 pets at the event. Families can see all the animals at the same time and have the option to visit them individually.

Areas will be set up in the event space where families can spend time getting to know a dog or two or more. Staff will be available to help families.

The MEGA adoption event will kick off with a motorcycle escort from the Forth Worth Police Department for the pet parade from the Humane Society of Texas Main Shelter, 1840 E. Lancaster Ave., on Friday December 17 at 1 p.m. The procession of HSNT and city vehicles, adoption trailers and vans will descend Lancaster Avenue until they arrive at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, Cattle Barn # 1. It’s a pretty exciting procession. to watch !

Photo: Jaxson, who is 5, was abandoned by his owners when they moved in. He’s been at the Fort Worth Animal Shelter since September and no one knows why he hasn’t been adopted yet. He’s a formidable dog who is really cute, loves to jump in leaves, take car rides with the windows open, and is still a cheerful puppy considering everything he’s been through. He is at the Animal Shelter’s North Campus, 351 Hillshire. ID # 48401966.
