PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Palm Beach County department of Animal Care and Control is offering adoptions for as little as $5 if you are interested in adopting a forever friend.

PBCACC says it’s trying to find homes for the 56 adoptable dogs that are in the kennel. As the only open-admission shelter in the county, PBCACC accepts all animals in need regardless of their condition. Services are provided to lost, homeless and unwanted animals, and help is needed to continue caring for them.  

The community can help by adopting or fostering. The kennel has adoptable dogs with different personalities that would suit anyone’s lifestyle. Whether looking for a big dog, small dog, playful pup or couch potato, the shelter has a perfect dog for a family. During the month of May, PBCACC is offering $5 adoptions to motivate the community to adopt instead of shop (#AdoptDontShop) for a furry friend. By adopting or fostering, a dog experiences time in a loving home, and space for another dog in need is created in the shelter.

If looking for a short term commitment, PBCACC is encouraging residents to consider becoming a foster through the Foster2Rescue program. Through this program, foster parents take care of a pet for two to six weeks until a forever home is found through the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. All supplies such as food, crate, leash, collar and preventatives are provided. All the foster needs to provide is some love.

PBCACC encourages those interested in fostering or adopting to meet their perfect match in person. Pets can also be viewed online. The Foster and adoption application is completed in person at PBCACC. No appointment needed. 

Adoption Center hours are Monday through Friday, noon to 6 p.m.; Saturday, noon to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
