Suffolk Animal Care has joined 11 other shelters across the state to host a “Passion 4 Compassion” adoption event this weekend.

Using the hashtag #Passion4Compassion, each participating shelter will use social media throughout the weekend to feature staff and volunteers as well as animals available for adoption.

“This is the busiest time of the year for shelters,” said Laurie Brittle, Suffolk Animal Shelter manager. “We have so many wonderful loving animals waiting for that chance of a new home. If you are thinking of adding a new member to your family, please consider a shelter pet.”

Suffolk Animal Care is located at 124 Forest Glen Drive. Call 514-7855 for more information.
