Brandywine Valley SPCA receives dogs for adoption event
On a rainy Dec. 7, some sunshine landed at Delaware Coastal Airport in Georgetown with some cuddly cargo.
More than 50 dogs were offloaded by volunteers from Brandywine Valley SPCA in preparation for the organization’s Mega Adoption Event, Dec. 10-11 at Delaware State Fairgrounds in Harrington.
Adam Lamb, CEO of Brandywine Valley, said, “Our megas are an amazing experience to see so many pets who have lost everything be chosen by folks who are eager to give them a new life full of love. As the largest adoption event in the country, our goal with the size and format is to save more lives by reaching folks who might not otherwise consider coming to a shelter to adopt.”
The dogs were brought in from shelters in Louisiana; cats were also part of the flight, but they were flown to New Castle Airport, where they were taken to Brandywine Valley’s facility in New Castle.
