ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Alachua County Animal Resources and the Student Chapter of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians – UF Chapter are hosting the 14th Annual Summer Lovin’ Animal Adoption event. Summer Lovin’ is on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Alachua County Animal Resources Headquarters (3400 NE 53rd Ave., Gainesville).
The goal is to adopt over 150 dogs and cats at the shelter. Pets leave the shelter with goodie bags, all needed shots, spayed or neutered, and microchipped.
The shelter will close at 2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 9, to set up the event.
“We are at max capacity with adoptable pets, so we truly hope this adoption event gets our pets into forever homes,” said Alachua County Animal Resources Director Julie Johnson.
The shelter’s normal hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

What a Joke! Every year Students come back, take in Pets, showing they emptied the shelter, then when they leave town, they give them back to the shelter! 😢
All the Students should take the animals with them! Pets are like family! This Not a throw away Society!
The idea that students abandon their pets is a myth. I’m guessing you have no data to support this claim.
