(MIAMI, MARCH 24, 2015) – On Saturday March 28, Animal Planet and the ASPCA will cover all adoption fees—including the cost for license tags—at Miami-Dade Animal Services as part of the second annual Road to Puppy Bowl. Those hoping to add a playful pup or a furry feline can look forward to a fun-filled event with photo ops, giveaways and adorable animals looking for loving homes.
Fees have been waived thanks to grant funding from Animal Planet administered by the ASPCA. Waived adoption fees are on a first-come, first-served basis while funds remain. Free giveaways while supplies last. Potential adopters can visit Roadtopuppybowlmiami.eventbrite.com to pre-register and be automatically entered to win a Puppy Bowl prize pack.

The event is presented with special support from AT&T U-verse®, which carries Animal Planet Channel on Channel 252 in SD/1252 in HD.
