Petco Love MEGA Adoption Event

Friday, June 27 – Sunday, June 29, 2025

Friends of Strays is proudly joining forces with Petco Love, a national nonprofit leading and inspiring change for pets, and animal welfare groups across the state of Florida on a shared mission to find homes for 2,000 dogs and cats in shelters. The Petco Love Florida MEGA Adoption Event will take place on June 27, 28, and 29.

According to the most recent nationwide data, Florida ranks 46th in the nation when it comes to saving the lives of pets in shelters. In 2024, 37,683 dogs and cats were euthanized in animal shelters across Florida.With help from Petco Love, local animal shelters are aiming to close that gap by finding homes for 2,000 pets in three days.

Adoption fees will be waived on all pets during this event. All available pets will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as age-appropriate.

Friends of Strays will be participating 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, June 27; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, June 28; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, June 29, 2025.

  • Adoptable dogs: 2911 47th N, St. Petersburg FL 33714
  • Adoptable cats: 3015 46th N, St. Petersburg, FL 33714.

Due to the high volume of adopters expected on Saturday, the shelter will close to new guests at 3 p.m. so that all adoptions can be finalized in a timely manner.

The 2025 event will include nearly 50 organizations across 31 counties, and thousands of pets will be available for adoption.
