In a massive adoption event 524 dogs and cats found their forever homes.

A few weeks ago ASPCA the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals hosted an adoption event for 524 dogs and cats in Sanford, North Carolina. All these 524 dogs and cats which had been rescued from appalling conditions were waiting to find their forever home.

“By 9:45 A.M. , at least 300 people were in line, and groups of 50 at a time were ushered to a large shaded tent where they filled out adoption applications,” ASPCA writes on their website. “The bell rang 524 times over two days to celebrate each rescued dog or cat that was getting a second chance at life,” ASPCA stated.
