Manatee County Animal Services Tail-Gate Party In Palmetto, FL
With football season underway, pets at Manatee County Animal Services are suited up and ready to tackle your heart at the Fall Tail-Gate Party co-hosted by Manatee County Animal Services and Friends of Manatee County Animal Services.
On Saturday, November 9, 12:00 pm -4:00 pm, stop by Manatee County Animal Services shelter at 305 25th St. West, Palmetto, to meet dogs and cats hoping to score the ultimate touchdown, a new home!
This family friendly event will feature adoption specials for all animals, raffle prize giveaways, food trucks, live music, pet-friendly vendors showcasing a variety of products and services and a bounce house for the kiddos. We have the game winning line-up of MVP’s to consider for adoption. Even some of our 2nd and 3rd string animals from the bench are great choices. And don’t forget the retired senior players and fun-loving cheerleaders. This is a free event to attend with free parking. Attendees will be able to tour the shelter or be assisted by volunteers to find their next four-legged family member.
The shelter currently has 170 dogs and cats to choose from and is over its normal capacity. We encourage the community to adopt not shop. Volunteers work with the animals every day to get them ready for adoption. Many of the shelter animals are trained on basic commands, house broken and ready to shower you with love and team spirit. Adoption fees range in price, with all animals being up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered and chipped.
