PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — While some shelter dogs find their forever homes right away, others might spend weeks, months or even years waiting to get adopted.
To help some of their long-term residents find their perfect family, the Pennsylvania SPCA is hosting a “Lonely Hearts Club” adoption event on Monday, Feb. 19 from noon to 6:30 p.m.
All the dogs available for adoption at this event, located at the PSPCA’s Philadelphia headquarters at 350 East Erie Avenue, have been in the PSPCA shelter for more than a year and have a track record of being very good boys and girls.

Adoption fees for all the dogs will be waived, though standard adoption processes will still be followed.
Animal advocate Carol Erickson says adoption counselors, volunteer buddies and the PSPCA’s behavioral team will be on site to answer any questions and help you decide of one of the dogs up for adoption is the right fit for your family.
