The Buffalo Sabres are teaming up with the Buffalo Bills to host the annual Pet Adoption Event at KeyBank Center on Saturday, July 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
More than 25 shelters and rescue organizations from throughout Western New York will be on hand to spotlight homeless pets available for adoption, giving community members a chance to meet a variety of pets at one location.
“Saving homeless pets is a team effort, and no community understands the power of teamwork better than Buffalo,” said Tina Chaudhry, president of Rescued By Buffalo. “This event brings rescues and shelters together, all working toward the same goal: Helping more pets find families. We are incredibly grateful to the Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills for once again using the power of their teams and their platforms to bring our community together and give homeless pets their shot at a home.”
Prospective adopters must bring a photo ID to the adoption event, along with a landlord’s permission letter if they live in a rented home, and be prepared to cover the adoption fee at the event.
Complimentary parking will be available in the KeyBank Center ramp.
Hayley Beane and Patty Guelli, honorary co-chairs of the Sabres & Bills Pet Adoption Event, are hosting a pet food drive during the event. Attendees are encouraged to bring a new or unopened bag of dog or cat food to the event, which will then be donated to the participating rescue organizations. Those who donate will receive 30 percent off in the Sabres Store, which will be open during the event.
