2025 Puptoberfest

Get ready for an unforgettable fall pet adoption festival at the 2025 Puptoberfest. Join the family-friendly event and get the opportunity to connect with adorable shelter dogs and cats eagerly waiting for their forever homes.

All pets adopted are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped — ready to become part of a forever family. Additionally, free vaccines and microchips will be available at the event to help keep pets healthy and safe.

This year’s event is made possible thanks to our key sponsors Best Friends Animal Society, our national leading partner, and the Miami HEAT. As part of the Miami HEAT’s ADD$1 program, the HEAT and Kaseya are teaming up to help cover adoption fees, ensuring that more pets can find loving homes.
