WHAT: According to the ASPCA, approximately 8-12 million dogs enter shelters nationwide each year. More than half are euthanized due to a lack of space or resources. To raise awareness of the unfortunate situation of shelter animals across the country, October has been deemed Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog month. Boca Raton’s PetAlive will be at the Boca Tri-County Humane Society assisting staff in the adoption of dogs and passing out helpful freebies to new pet owners.
