Every animal who arrives at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is beautiful but sometimes they need a little help cleaning up. That's where grooming comes in.
Did you know that these dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens receive some extra TLC in our grooming room? Maybe they need a haircut, a shampoo, or even a nail clipping.
This process takes time and costs money but we want to make sure that our adoptable animals are looking and feeling their best. Susan, from our staff, does a great job of trimming, washing, and tending to the needs of each dog.
Pet Praise has been a wonderful partner in this effort. The company donates shampoo and conditioner.
To see first hand how this ongoing donation is making a difference, watch this video:
Does your dog need a good washing? You might want to bring him or her to our Walk for the Animals event which this year will feature a Celebrity Pet Wash.

History
was made at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League’s annual Christmas Ball. The
40th edition of the Ball saw the shelter toast its 3,000th
adoption for 2012.
One
of the highlights of the evening is always the parade of adoptable dogs and
cats through the dining room. It was then that a dog named Tiger made history.
“Once
he put his paw on me, that was it,” said Timothy Scanlon. He and his family
then decided to adopt Tiger.
Every
dog, cat, puppy, or kitten that comes to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League
receives a wellness check, is spay/neutered, given appropriate vaccinations and
a microchip identifier. All adoptions include free dog and puppy training.
“To
have 3,000 adoptions in one year is amazing,” said Rich Anderson. “And to have
it happen with so many friends and supporters in the room at our ball made the
moment even sweeter.”
Every
day new adoptable animals arrive at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and are
promoted on the agency’s website: hspb.org.
“There
are so many loving animals in need of a forever home in Palm Beach County,”
said Anderson. “With the help our staff and volunteers, creative promotions,
and fantastic animals, we’ve managed to set a new record. Our commitment will
continue in 2013.”
This process takes time and costs money but we want to make sure that our adoptable animals are looking and feeling their best. Susan, from our staff, does a great job of trimming, washing, and tending to the needs of each dog.
