An animal rescue group is urging current and prospective owners to adopt rather than shop for pets this holiday season.
In fact, the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is holding an “Adopt, Don’t Shop” event on Black Friday that offers fee-waived adoptions for both cats and dogs. Presented by MetLife Pet Insurance, the opportunity takes place from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday at the group’s adoption center, 3200 N. Military Trail in West Palm Beach.
In addition, the Shaggy Shoppe in the lobby of the Peggy Adams center is granting 25% off all items, “including a variety of leashes, collars, pet beds, treats, toys, and ‘Rescue Proud’ clothing and accessories.”

“Peggy Adams has a variety of adorable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens looking for their forever-loving home,” the organization said in a statement. “All adoptable pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. A $20 rabies fee tag does apply to all Palm Beach County residents adopting a pet.
