Adopt Love Adopt Local is a one-day mega
Adopt Love Adopt Local is a one-day mega-adoption
animal fair designed to help hundreds of our
community’s homeless pets find their forever homes.
WHAT
Dozens of local animal groups will feature pets of all breeds, ages and backgrounds so every attendee can find
their match, while local vendor booths will offer resources that can help them thrive as pet owners. Throughout
the day, family-friendly, pet-focused entertainment, including demonstrations and promotional opportunities
for sponsors, will be provided on the central event stage. Admission will be free.
WHERE
The West Hall of the Tucson Expo Center at Irvington and Alvernon will serve as the event venue. This multipurpose facility hosts over 200 events each year and provides convenient access to just over 33,000 square feet
of interior space, with the option of expanding into an additional 38,000 square feet.
WHEN
Saturday, April 11, 2015 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
WHO
The Adopt Love Adopt Local mega-adoption animal fair is proudly presented by the Pima Alliance for
Animal Welfare (PAAW). PAAW is a unique coalition designed to collaboratively improve the welfare of
animals in Pima County. Since November 2012, this volunteer coalition of shelter organizations, local business,
rescue groups, veterinarians, animal welfare advocates, and other stakeholders has initiated a variety of
strategies to address community-wide animal welfare issues. PAAW is a staff-supported fund of the
Community Foundation for Southern Arizona.
WHY
There are over 30,000 pets entering our animal shelters and rescue groups every year in Pima County. By
creating a family-friendly opportunity for Southern Arizonans to connect with local organizations, we will give
animals a second chance at finding love and happiness, while celebrating the human-animal bond.
