Hooters of Boca Raton hosted a pet adoption Happy Hour Feb 14. Guests had the chance to find their new BFF and furry valentine at this special pet adoption event. Tri-County Animal Rescue had pets available for adoption on the restaurant’s patio.
“The event was a great success! Not only do three out of the four dogs have adoption applications, one of our long-term special needs cats was also adopted. We wanted to keep Valentine’s Day the joyous holiday full of love and care it started as,” said Suzi Goldsmith, co-founder and executive director of Tri-County Animal Rescue.
“The wonderful team at Hooters Boca Raton has taken our shelter into their loving arms for seven years. With our world changing at every moment our fundraisers have gone to zero; yet Hooters always comes to our rescue. Without the team and support from our friends there, Tri-County wouldn’t have saved as many animals as we have and will continue to do. From the bottom of our four-legged friends’ hearts, we thank them,” added Goldsmith. In addition to adoptions, the Valentine’s event also raised over $1,233 for Tri-County Animal Rescue.
“We enjoyed the opportunity on Valentine’s Day to give our community the opportunity to adopt a furry friend and help Tri-County Animal Rescue increase pet adoptions, funds and raise awareness for their efforts,” said Hooters of Boca Raton Managing Partner Chris Torelli.
Tri-County Animal Rescue is a 100% No-Kill, 501c3 nonprofit animal shelter working to prevent the killing of over 170,000 unwanted pets in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties each year. Since inception, Tri-County Animal Rescue has saved over 74,000 animals.
