More adoption options
If you would like to adopt a pet but cannot attend one of these events, Adopt a Dog is open all year long! Click here to learn about their organization and adoptable pets.
Another, sometimes overlooked, source of adoptable dogs is breed rescue groups. A list of rescue groups for every AKC registered breed can be found here.
