SUMMARY:The Road Home Mega Adoption Event
DESCRIPTION:The Road Home Mega Adoption Event!\n  \nSaturday\, June 6th | 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. | Brilliance Subaru Elgin | 1500 N. Randall Road \nDrop everything! This is your moment. \nAnderson Humane is teaming up with Brilliance Subaru for a high-energy\, first-come\, first-served adoption event where incredible dogs\, puppies\, and kittens will be ready to go home that same day. \nEvery pet is already spayed/neutered\, vaccinated\, and microchipped\, so when you meet “the one\,” you can make it official on the spot. And your journey doesn’t end there…we’ll be by your side with low-cost training\, low-cost veterinary care\, and ongoing support to help you build a lifelong bond. \nNo appointments. No holds. No second chances. \nIf you see your match… act fast because someone else will! \nBe there early. Be ready. Go home with your new best friend. \n \nFAQ\nWhat do I need to bring to adopt? \nYou’ll need to bring a valid ID and form of payment; we accept card and cash. \nHow do I know who will be available for adoption at this event? \nOnce we know which adoptables will be attending this event\, they’ll be posted below! Keep a lookout a day or two before the event. \nCan I put a hold on a dog or cat? \nWe do not place holds on adoptables; we want to be fair to all folks who are interested. \nWill there be adult dogs too\, or only puppies? \nWe typically bring lots of puppies; they’re usually very resilient and eager to make new friends! Adoption events can be stressful for adult dogs\, so we only bring adult dogs we know would be well-suited for a crowded event. \nWill there be adult cats too\, or only kittens? \nWe will only be bringing kittens to the event\, no adult cats.  \n \nWhat time should I get there? \nHistorically\, there has typically been a line to get into this adoption event. You’re more than welcome to arrive when you’d like\, but if there’s an adoptable you have an eye on\, we suggest getting there early. \n  \n \nList of Adoptable Animals COMING SOON!
