More than 1,000 pets will be looking for homes as part of Brandywine Valley SPCA’s (BVSPCA) Summer Mega Adoption Event powered by national nonprofit Petco Love. The Summer event will be held at the Bob Carpenter Center at the University of Delaware in Newark on June 21 and 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens from BVSPCA and participating partner organizations will be available for just $35 in adoption fees throughout the event.

“Our Megas provide a lifeline for so many pets who have lost everything. It’s truly inspiring to see these pets chosen by families eager to give them a new life full of love,” said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA CEO. “As the largest adoption event in the country, our goal with the size and format is to save even more lives by reaching folks who might not otherwise consider coming to a shelter to adopt.”

A limited number of early access Fast Passes will be available for purchase. Fast Passes give potential adopters access an hour ahead of general admission. Adopters should bring a leash and collar for a dog adoption (also available for purchase), a carrier for a cat (cardboard carriers generously donated by Petco Love will be available), a valid ID, and the adoption fee.
