On September 25 & 26, the Michigan Humane Society and the Detroit Zoo will host the annual fall Meet Your Best Friend at the Zoo, presented by PEDIGREE®, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak. Hundreds of adoptable dogs, cats, puppies and kittens will be available for immediate adoption at the largest off-site pet adoption event in the country. There is no charge for admission to the event or for parking.

Last year, the fall Meet Your Best Friend at the Zoo event found homes for more than 400 animals. Since its inception in 1993, the event has helped more than 16,000 animals find new, loving families.

Because puppies are often in high demand, “puppy passes” will be given each morning to the first 25 adoption event guests who are looking specifically to adopt a puppy. Those with puppy passes will be allowed to enter the adoption tents at 9:45 a.m., with the remainder of guests allowed to enter at 10 a.m. Doing so will prevent a “puppy rush” and ensure that all adopters - and the adoptable animals - will have a wonderful experience.  A “get acquainted” area will be available to give guests an opportunity to spend time with an animal before adopting.

Adoption fees and policies are set by each participating group and not by event sponsors. Animals will be adopted only to qualified homes. Adopters must present a driver’s license or state ID card. All dogs and cats will have received a medical check-up and age-appropriate vaccinations.  For health and safety reasons, please leave current companion animals at home.
