Griffin, the shelter cat

Scottsdale, Ariz: Spring Fling Pet Adopt-a-Thon – March 5

PACC911’s Spring Fling Pet Adopt-a-Thon is sponsored by PETSMART Charities.

It returns to the Franciscan Renewal Center in Scottsdale (5802 E. Lincoln Drive) on Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. More than 60 rescue groups are already on board with hundreds of pets who are waiting to find their forever homes.

Mixed and purebred, large and small dogs, cats and critters are hoping for a second chance at life, and looking for loving, caring owners to adopt them. Admission to the Adopt-A-Thon is free, and so is parking, so come out and bring your friends and family. Adoption fees vary.

PACC911 will host a raffle and attendees can earn a free raffle ticket with the donation of unopened pet food, towels, or a blanket. The Arizona Animal Welfare League will have a mobile vaccine clinic on-site providing low-cost micro-chipping and dog and cat vaccines.

Snacks and refreshments will be available.

Proceeds benefit the Emergency Medical Fund, which provides over 100 PACC911 rescue partners financial aid for medical costs.

For more information, call 602.992.4779.
