The first of two large offsite tented Adopt-a-Thons this
summer takes place on Saturday, June 13th from 10a-4pm in the parking lot in front of Home
Depot in Allen Park in the Fairlane Green II shopping mall. Home Depot is near the Oakwood boulevard
entrance to the mall, described locally as “On the Hill”, just off Southfield
freeway. The Dearborn Animal Shelter
plans to have 50 animals or more available for adoption that day including playful
kittens, adult cats, all shapes and sizes of dogs and possibly even puppies!
Counselors will be on hand to help potential adopters find their
new best friend.

Summer is a busy time for animal shelters, especially as
kitten season moves into full swing, so there are many pets for families to
consider. Elaine Greene, Executive
Director, Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter, commented “This Adopt-A-Thon
kicks off the summer season for us and is similar to bringing a one day
“pop-up” Shelter to a highly visible location for one day. It’s a great way for us to feature many
adoptable pets in a fun festive atmosphere. We’re bringing available pets to
the public to help them find their new best friend”.
This is the third year in a row that the event is being
hosted in the parking lot of Home Depot in Allen Park. A second offsite tented Adopt-A-Thon will take
place in the parking lot of Westborn Mall on Saturday, August 22nd at
the intersection of Outer Drive and Michigan Avenue.
