“Our Megas are such an important lifesaving experience to give pets who have lost so much a chance to find families eager to give them a life full of love and care,” said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA CEO. “By bringing this Mega Adoption Event into our campuses and into the shelters of our partners, we are looking to save more lives, reach more local adopters, and open space to more animals in need in our region and beyond.”
Event organizers said a limited number of early access "Fast Passes" will be available for BVSPCA locations in West Chester, New Castle, Georgetown, and the Animal Rescue Center, as well as the Humane Society of Harrisburg Area.
The passes will give potential adopters access at 10 a.m., an hour ahead of general admission.
According to event organizers, attendees should bring a leash and collar for a dog adoption or a carrier for a cat adoption, a valid ID, and the adoption fee.
