49 Pets Adopted At Lower Bucks Shelter Event

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —America’s First Animal Shelter has called its participation in the recent 10th Anniversary NBCUniversal ‘Clear the Shelters’ nationwide pet adoption event a success.

The Women's Animal Center said that it had "an incredible day clearing the shelter" when 49 of its shelter animals found their forever homes.

The event helps find loving forever homes for surrendered and stray animals.

Of the adopted pets, there were 28 cats, 15 dogs, four rabbits, and two ferrets, shelter officials said.

Women's Animal Center said event partner and friend Inspire Federal Credit Union for their support and generosity, which included a $10,000 contribution covering all adoption fees.

The money will continue to help us support the center's life-saving mission.

"We’d also like to thank Inspire customers who donated pet food at their four branches to be distributed to pet owners in need. Women's Animal Center and our community members are so grateful," the shelter said. "A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated volunteers and to all the adopters who opened their hearts and homes to a shelter pet. We could not have done it without you."
