Meet Your Best Friend at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on Saturday, June 11, and take home the purrfect cat or dog the very same day. The Zoo is teaming up with over 20 area humane organizations to find loving homes for over 100 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies most of which are available for immediate adoption. These rescue groups and shelters will also offer advice on choosing the right pet and how best to care for it. All dogs and cats will have received a medical check-up and age-appropriate vaccination. Each participating group sets its own adoption fees and policies.
The event is free and is held outdoors under tents in the Zoo's Ticket Plaza.

A wonderful addition to the culture of the Cleveland area is the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.  Opened in 1882 as Wade Park and moved from the Universiry Circle area in 1907, this beautiful zoo has been caring for animals and protecting endangered species for over 100 years.  In addition to all the exoctic animals there is the Rain-forest, an indoor reptile sanctuary, an aviary, and is home to an orangutan family.  Spending the day or just a few hours here with your kids is time well spent.  Also popular with my boys, the Dinosaurs are open May 6 - September 12!
