At Petco, this adoption event offers a chance to meet adorable rescue dogs who are ready to become part of a family. No appointment is required, though you may schedule a time in advance to meet a specific pup, and a reservation will hold that dog for the event so you can meet in person. Each dog is adopted with health records and comprehensive care, including vaccinations, de-worming, flea and tick prevention, microchipping, and spay or neuter surgery. Adoption fees vary by dog and start at $250, treated as a donation that helps care for over 500 dogs, with a portion eligible for tax deduction. For information or assistance, call or text 888-508-8943.
