Mazie’s Mission announces the inaugural Fall In Love Fur-ever 24 Hour Adopt-A-Thon which runs from 9pm Friday, October 14 to 9pm Saturday, October 15. The 24-hour event is a one-of-a-kind for North Texas … and yes, if you attend at 3:17am, the adoption center will be open! I asked! In fact, if you come dressed in your pawjamas between 10pm and midnight, adoption fees are only $50! And from midnight to 2am, all black pets will be available for just $50.
Pets change our lives for the better and are a wonderful complement to family life. One key ingredient in successful pet adoption is finding the best match for your lifestyle. Are you looking for a running buddy, a couch potato, a new puppy, an older pet past the puppy stage? A playful kitten? A long-haired cat? The animal rescue and shelter groups will help you find the perfect match for you.
The family fun adopt-a-thon will feature 200 adorable dogs and cats available for adoption with reduced adoption fees, games, live music, and local vendors. Looking for a way to raise more awareness for pets awaiting adoption, Erin Shults DVM, founder of Mazie’s Mission, invited area animal rescue groups and municipal shelters to help create and participate in a festive event to introduce available pets to potential adopters. Shults hopes to make this an annual event.
The pet adopt-a-thon will be held at The Village at Fairview on the Grand Commons Stage (address below). Each pet available for adoption will be current on their vaccinations including rabies and be spayed or neutered. The pet adoption fee can be paid for by cash or check only.
The featured adorable adoptables are from the following DFW animal rescue groups and shelters: HART: Humane Animal Rescue Team, Humane Society of North Texas, NTCR – North Texas Cat Rescue, Seagoville Animal Services, Plano Animal Services, Moka’s Rescue, and LARA’S House – Limestone Animal Rescue Adoption Shelter – Mexia, Texas. This is a great example of animal rescue groups working together to help the pets in our community!
Current family pets are welcome to attend also and enjoy the festivities. There will be low cost pet vaccinations and microchip services available too! A pet trainer will present training tips every hour from 9am – 6pm on Saturday.
Check out this cute pet adoption promotional video for the Fall In Love Furever 24 Hour Adopt-a-thon! The pets really want to tell their story and promote this event, so please, share this post to help raise awareness. The goal is 200 empty kennels and 200 happy pets enjoying their forever home at the end of this 24 hour adopt-a-thon!

This animal welfare compound will offer a safe, loving place for animals awaiting adoption and offer low-cost vet services to animal rescue groups to help them save more lives.
