Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League recently feted a remarkable milestone, celebrating 100 years of service, compassion and lifesaving work in Palm Beach County. The organization hosted a special centennial event on Nov. 10, honoring its history while looking ahead to the next 100 years of impact for animals and the community.
Guests walked through a pop-up museum in the Jane and Robert Grace Pavillion, where archival displays traced the organization’s growth since 1925. Attendees also toured the League’s medical facility before joining a reception in the Lesly S. Smith Pet Adoption Center. With more than 150 donors and friends in attendance — including Pauline Pitt, chairman of the board — the gathering served as a warm tribute to all who have helped make Peggy Adams a cornerstone of animal welfare in Palm Beach County.
The night began with a proclamation from Palm Beach County Commissioner Maria Marino formally recognizing the anniversary and highlighting the organization’s dedication to saving lives and its work to create a more compassionate community.
“Our centennial year is not only a celebration of our past, but a promise for the future,” says Sue Berry, CEO of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. “For 100 years, Peggy Adams has been a place of hope and healing for countless animals. As we enter our next century of service, we remain committed to advancing lifesaving programs, expanding our reach and ensuring every pet in our community has a chance to thrive.”
