WATCH: Adoption Event Focuses on Harder-to-Place Animals
More than $12,000 was raised at the fourth annual "Love Me Because ..." pet adoption event.
The fourth annual "Love Me Because ..." pet adoption event held Feb. 2 at Hood's Do-It Best was more successful than what organizers originally thought.
The goal was to raise $10,000, but volunteers ended up collecting more than $12,000 through a silent auction, raffles, a bake sale and other donations.
Nine animals also were adopted, with another two adoptions pending.
