BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — Black Friday isn’t just for TVs and appliances — some shoppers are heading to the Humane Society of Broward County to bring home a furry friend.
Local 10 News visited the shelter Friday, where dogs and cats are available for adoption with special “Black Furrday” deals.
Adoption fees have been waived for “cuddle busters,” like Poppy, a 5-year-old dog who overcame back-leg paralysis with acupuncture and foster care. Pets over 1 year of age are available for half-price adoption.
Cherie Wachter, vice president of marketing for the Humane Society of Broward, said the event runs Friday and Saturday at the shelter on 2070 Griffin Road in Fort Lauderdale, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. No appointments are needed.
Wachter shared why she believes Poppy deserves a “furever” home.
“She’s good with other dogs, good with kids, just a home without kitty cats because she’s not a fan of cats,” Wachter said. “She loves to play with toys. She’s just a really great dog and she is one of our cuddle busters.”
All pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated before adoption, with 14 days of healthcare included from Broward County animal hospitals.
The Humane Society encouraged potential adopters to consider their lifestyle and family needs before bringing home a new pet.
