Prospective adopters can connect with One Love Animal Rescue at PetSmart in Pooler to meet a selection of adoptable pets. Because the rescue is foster home based, not every animal is present at each event. If there is a specific pet you hope to see, submitting a pre-adoption application in advance helps with approval and makes it possible to coordinate that pet’s attendance. The application is available on the rescue’s website.
