Hooray for Hollywoof!



Mutts at the Movies, peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, West Palm Beach
Imagine a picture perfect evening spent outside, with your favorite dog, and a movie you’ll both enjoy. 

That’s what you'll experience at Mutts at the Movies. This series of movie nights are part of the City of West Palm Beach’s outdoor movie series, Screen on the Green. 

Come join us for this free event at the Waterfront Great Lawn, which is at 101 S. Flagler Drive. We have two dates lined up:

  • Friday, May 10, Hotel for Dogs
  • Friday, August 9 Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Both events will run from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. 

You’ll also have a chance to meet some of our adoptable animals and visit our pop-up “concession stand.” Dog treats and gift items will be available, all sales will benefit the animals at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.  

Beach or lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged at this outdoor event. All pets must be on leashes. Doggy waste stations will also be available to keep the area clean.

Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is proud to partner with The City of West Palm Beach on this fun evening under the stars.

2012: By the Numbers


365 days goes by fast when you're busy. Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League accomplished a lot in 2012. In fact, we reached record heights in several areas.

Enjoy this graphic about our accomplishments from 2012, which was originally published in our Shaggy Sheet newsletter. Stay tuned, a new Shaggy Sheet will be coming out soon.

Behind the Scenes: Calls

On an average day, we receive close to 400 calls to our call center. A small group of staff and volunteers answer the phones.

Many of our callers are in a state of crisis. It's up to our team to calmly pass on the right information or transfer them to someone who can help.

Volunteers play a key role in helping us sort through the chorus of rings.

Talking with the public can be a delicate customer service balance. We want to make sure that we take the time to address your needs. However, that means that some will be sent to voicemail.

While we always make the best attempt to answer all calls, our goal is to answer ever call, every time.

And while we are happy to speak with you, we have put most of our information on our website, which is www.hspb.org. Not sure where to look? Keep in mind there is a search bar on the top right section of the page.

You can help strengthen our call center by volunteering as a member of our Phone Force. After you're trained, we ask that you volunteer for one assigned three-hour shift per week between the hours of 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
