Broward County Animal Care is teaming up with Best Friends Animal Society and Walmart for a free pet adoption event in celebration of National Pet Month.

The “Give Love. Save Lives.” event is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, at the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Dania Beach. Broward County Animal Care will bring adoptable dogs to the event and waive adoption fees to help more animals find permanent homes. Broward County pet registration fees will still apply.

According to Broward County Animal Care Director Doug Brightwell, the event aims to increase lifesaving outcomes for animals while encouraging responsible pet ownership throughout the community.

“Every adoption creates space for another animal in need and gives a deserving pet a second chance,” Brightwell said in a statement. “When the community shows up to adopt, foster, volunteer, or advocate for responsible pet ownership, it helps us move more animals into safe, loving homes and strengthens our collective responsibility to animal welfare.”

Animal Care staff and volunteers will be on-site to help prospective adopters, answer questions, and provide information about pet ownership resources and services available throughout Broward County.

The event is part of the national “Give Love. Save Lives.” initiative, which focuses on increasing pet adoptions and reducing shelter overcrowding through community partnerships and public involvement.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Walmart Neighborhood Market, 401 E. Sheridan St. in Dania Beach.
