BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Imagine the KeyBank Center, but instead of a crowd of fans, it's filled with dogs, guinea pigs, and other adorable pets!
That's exactly the kind of cuteness happening Saturday afternoon at an adoption event with 20 local rescues hosted by the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres.
It was an adorable one-stop shop. Potential adopters just needed an ID, a landlord permission slip, and money to cover the adoption fee.
"So if we can bring them all in one place and get as many adopted as possible, that makes our job that much better," said Amber Crisman, Fundraising Coordinator for the Sabres.
Seven million people will add pets to their families this year. If just 6% of those were adopted from rescues, that could end the current homeless pet crisis.
"It is a life-saving impact, you can see it. Every one of these animals that finds a home makes space for another, so it's really saving two every time you adopt," said event organizer, Tina Chaudhry.
