If you have ever been to the Clermont Farmers Market on a Sunday morning, the chances are you may have seen us there with one or more of our dogs. We gather in the coolness of our air-conditioned Thrift Shop so that you can pop in and enjoy sharing the love with some of our pups. It’s great for the dogs to be out of the shelter, and it makes their day to receive love and attention from so many people. Some of our dogs will take their Animal League volunteer out for a walk around the market, so if you spot one wearing their “Adopt Me” harness or bandana, be sure to say hi and give them a fuss. This is such a valuable activity for the dogs’ general well-being and a reminder of life beyond the shelter. Who knows, it may even lead to them sniffing out their own new family. We’ve had several properly vetted and successful on-the-day adoptions!
We are at the market from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Sunday, and you can keep an eye on our Facebook page to find out who you are likely to meet. Other dogs may be there to greet you too, depending on the number of volunteers available on the day. If you’re looking to adopt on-site, please review our adoption process, complete our adoption application, and bring proof of current heartworm preventative care for all current pets in your home.
Our amazing volunteers treat our dogs to other outings and special adventures throughout the year, so no matter where you find us, we look forward to seeing you and sharing wagging tails!
