The Mega Adoption event for Central Florida will take place at the Strawberry Festival grounds on West Oak Avenue in Plant City, Friday from noon until 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. until noon.

Participating Central Florida shelters include:

If you can’t make it out to Plant City, you can visit the shelter locations where adoption fees will also be waived.

Other shelters in the area will not be at the mega events, but will also be waiving adoption fees.

Contact each shelter to find adoptable pets, locations and hours of operation.

All adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, and all adoptions will include vaccinations and offers from Petco. The goal is to find homes for 5,000 pets throughout Florida this weekend.
