Black Furrday Returns To The Humane Society Of Broward County With Special Adoption Deals

The shelter will open its doors early for the annual event, giving prospective pet parents an opportunity to meet animals in need of families while taking advantage of significant savings on adoption fees. With hundreds of pets hoping for a second chance at happiness, Black Furrday offers an alternative to traditional holiday shopping — one that comes with the promise of companionship and unconditional love.

The adoption specials will be available throughout the day, with the biggest savings offered during the morning hours.

From 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., adoption fees will be waived for dogs and cats ages 7 months and older. From 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., adoption fees for pets in that age group will be half price.

The shelter will also feature its special “Cuddle Busters” throughout the day. These select animals will have their adoption fees waived, giving visitors another opportunity to find a companion while helping a homeless pet begin a new chapter.

Under normal circumstances, adoption fees are $200 for dogs ages 7 months and older and $80 for cats in the same age group. A $25 administrative fee applies to fee-waived adoptions, and donations are appreciated to help support the shelter's ongoing work.

Whether visitors arrive early to take advantage of waived fees or stop by later for half-price adoptions, the goal remains the same: connecting animals with families prepared to give them the care, attention and affection they deserve.

The shelter's available animals offer a wide range of personalities, sizes and temperaments. Prospective adopters may find playful puppies, affectionate adult dogs, curious kittens and charming cats, each with the potential to become a beloved member of the family.

For some, the ideal companion might be an energetic dog ready to join them on morning jogs or outdoor adventures. Others may prefer a relaxed pet happy to curl up on the couch at the end of a long day. Cat lovers can also explore the shelter's feline residents in search of a friendly companion.

Finding the right match is an important part of the adoption process. The Humane Society encourages prospective pet owners to consider their lifestyles, living arrangements and ability to provide long-term care before making a commitment.

Adopting a pet also offers benefits beyond the initial savings. Each adoption includes spay or neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations and a microchip. Dogs older than 7 months receive heart worm testing, while cats receive Feline Leukemia testing.

Adopters will also receive a bag of Purina ONE pet food, while supplies last, and a limited 14-day health care plan through VCA Animal Hospitals.

These services help give newly adopted pets a healthy start as they transition into their new homes. They also provide adopters with important information and support during the early days of welcoming a new animal into the family.

To make the process smoother, prospective adopters are encouraged to complete a pre-adoption application before visiting the shelter. Applications, along with photographs of animals currently available for adoption, can be found at: www.humanebroward.com. Reviewing the available pets in advance can help visitors identify potential matches and prepare for their visit.

The Black Furrday event comes at a time when animal shelters continue to depend on community support to care for homeless animals and connect them with permanent families. Each adoption opens space and resources for the shelter to assist other animals in need.

The Humane Society of Broward County is a private, NonProfit Organization supported by donations and is not affiliated with any government agency. Its mission includes finding loving homes for animals while providing care for pets awaiting adoption.

Community members who attend Black Furrday can help advance that mission simply by choosing adoption when adding a pet to their household. Those who are not ready to adopt can still support the shelter through donations and by sharing information about animals seeking homes.

While Black Friday is traditionally associated with crowded stores, long lines and discounted merchandise, the Humane Society hopes this year's event will inspire a different kind of purchase — one that changes a life.

For families considering a new pet, the Friday, November 27th, 2026 event offers an opportunity to meet potential companions, learn about responsible pet ownership and take advantage of reduced adoption costs.

The best bargain of the day may not be found on a store shelf. It could be waiting at the Humane Society of Broward County, ready to offer years of loyalty, companionship and unconditional love.
