WPBF 25 News is actively working with animal shelters throughout the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County to promote the adoption of pets seeking permanent homes. The station’s ongoing “WPBF to the Rescue” effort highlights local rescue organizations and encourages community members to consider adoption as a compassionate and responsible choice.
Pet of the Week: Nella
This week’s featured animal is Nella, a seven‑year‑old Black Labrador Retriever. Nella is currently listed with the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and is looking for a forever home. Potential adopters can learn more about Nella and arrange a meeting through the rescue’s contact information provided by WPBF.
Partner Rescue Organizations
WPBF 25 provides direct links for residents to inquire about adoptable pets from several reputable groups operating in the region:
- Animal Rescue Force of South Florida
- Humane Society of the Treasure Coast
- Big Dog Ranch Rescue
- Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League
- Tri‑County Animal Rescue
- Sunrise Humane Shelter
- Furry Friends Adoption
Each organization maintains its own intake process, health screenings, and adoption requirements. Interested individuals are encouraged to visit the respective websites or contact the shelters directly for the most current information on available animals.
Why Adopt?
Adopting a pet from a local shelter not only gives a deserving animal a second chance but also supports the broader community effort to reduce stray populations and alleviate overcrowding in shelters. Many rescued animals, like Nella, are already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and evaluated for temperament, making the transition to a new home smoother for both pet and owner.
How to Get Involved
Residents can stay informed about upcoming adoption events, volunteer opportunities, and additional resources by following WPBF 25’s news updates and weather alerts. The station’s mobile app, available for download, provides real‑time notifications and easy access to the latest community stories, including animal‑rescue initiatives.
By highlighting these local rescue groups and their adoptable animals, WPBF 25 aims to foster a culture of responsible pet ownership and strengthen the bond between families and their new companions.
