The ASPCA and PetSmart-sponsored Mega-Match-a-Thon is going on March 30-April 1 with the goal of getting 250 homeless dogs and cats adopted.  You can bring home your new best friend from any of three facilities–First Coast No More Homeless Pets, Jacksonville Animal Care and Control, and the Jacksonville Humane Society–for an adoption fee of $25 during the event.  Pets come spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  If you’ve been thinking of adding to the family, this is a great time to do it.
