Event Details
Through our 21 local and national Mega® Adoption Events, we have placed nearly 20,000 homeless cats and dogs with loving families. Each one is truly an experience, with hundreds of homeless pets being chosen to join a family over one weekend. Plan to join the fun and find your new furry companion, or if you have a full house, join us as a volunteer for the event, or help spread the word to your family and friends!
​
Hundreds of wonderful furry companions will be looking for their forever homes – big dogs, small dogs, senior pets, puppies, and kittens. The Mega Adoption® Event will be held at Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Delaware. Choose and meet your potential future family member, then welcome them into your home on the spot.
​
Puppies, kittens, and small dogs get adopted quickly, so if you're looking to adopt a young or small animal, consider purchasing a Fast Pass for early access Saturday morning before the official event opening time. Fast passes cost $75 and give access to up to five family members for one adoption. Fast Pass entry time is Saturday, June 20th from 9 - 10 a.m. Check in for fast pass is at 8:30 a.m.
