Nationally about
5-7 million animals end up in shelters every year.
Some find forever
homes, but a large number end up being euthanized. That's why animal advocates organized the
mega pet adoption in Fort Worth
in the 2900 block of Texas Sage Trail.
Pet Smart
charities, the city of Fort Worth
and 20 animal welfare organizations, collaborated on the event.
There were two huge
tents set up in the Petsmart parking lot to house the dogs and cats.
Some of animals
came from overcrowded shelters, others were brought in, from breed specific
rescue groups.
The goal is to
adopt out at least 500 animals today. The
event will be held on Sunday as well and each group sets it's own price to
adopt out a pet.
