Returning for its eleventh year, The Animal League’s Puttin’ Fore Paws brings a day of golf to Green Valley Country Club, a community landmark for more than fifty years. The picturesque course’s rolling terrain, elevation changes, scenic views, and local wildlife set the stage for friendly competition that benefits The Animal League’s adoptable pets. The day begins with check-in followed by a shotgun start, and a post-round lunch is included with registration. Highlights include longest drive and closest-to-the-pin contests, raffle prizes with a 50/50 drawing, and mulligans, along with opportunities to meet adoptable animals on site. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Green Valley Country Club does not accept tournament payments.

Support and resources are available for anyone seeking help.

Meet adorable adoptable cats from The Animal League at the newly opened Petco in Clermont. Team Meow volunteers will be on hand for friendly introductions, to chat about fostering, and to answer questions about finding the right match.

You can view the cats housed at Petco Clermont during normal store hours. For hands-on meetings, schedule an appointment with the adoption team, since store employees are not able to provide access.
