In addition to adoptions, the event will provide pet licensing and microchipping services, allowing prospective owners to take care of several important tasks in one visit. The shelter will also be selling merchandise and pet supplies.

Among the animals available for adoption is Beans, a 2-year-old female German Shorthaired Pointer who was brought in as a stray. The shelter reports that Beans has quickly adjusted to her environment, interacts well with other animals, and enjoys playing fetch.

Residents interested in adopting a pet are encouraged to visit Wardman Park on Thursday to meet the animals from the shelter.
