More than 30 pets adopted at JUST ONE DAY adoption event at Morgan Auto Group dealerships

TAMPA, Fla. - June 14, 2016 - PRLog -- The JUST ONE DAY rescue pet adoption event sponsored by Morgan Auto Group dealerships and The New Barker on Saturday, June 11 was a huge success! Ten dealerships located throughout Tampa Bay and central Florida opened their showrooms to 20 pet rescue organizations to introduce adoptable dogs and cats to area families. Approximately 30 pets were adopted by new families and showroom cars were filled to the brim with pet foods and supplies to help support all the shelters.

JUST ONE DAY is a national movement to encourage shelters to stop killing animals for 24 hours and find creative ways to locate homes for their adoptable dogs and cats. This was the second consecutive year The New Barker and Morgan Auto Group worked together to raise awareness of all the healthy dogs and cats available for adoption at rescue groups and animal shelters.

John Marazzi, Morgan Auto Group's managing partner of Brandon Honda and Sun Toyota capped off the event by presenting checks in the amount of $1,000 to each of the rescue organizations participating at his two stores.

"We were thrilled to see so many people come out to meet and play with many of our dogs and cats who are eager to find a forever home," said Anna Cooke, editor of The New Barker. "John and his family have been lifelong supporters of rescue dogs, and the cash donations will go a long way toward helping feed and save animals that so richly deserve loving homes," she added.
