This everyday center will be complemented with adoptable animals available from various local rescue groups during periodic store events.

WHEN: Saturday, February 10, 9am to 3pm

WHERE:

19563 Coastal Hwy Unit #5
Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971

WHY: The BVSPCA provides the Delmarva community with adoption, safety net and low-cost veterinary services at its Georgetown Campus. Animals arriving at that location come from the BVSPCA’s five-year contract with the Office of Animal Welfare to provide state-wide animal services for dogs, as well as owner surrenders and adoptable stray cats as space allows. This additional location extends the organization’s reach to additional families who may not otherwise think to go to a shelter to adopt. “This new adoption center has been designed to bring people and cats together with a bond that lasts a lifetime,” said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA CEO. “We appreciate the support of PetSmart Charities and the store leadership help to us place more homeless cats with forever families.”
