ABOUT PEGGY ADAMS
The Mission of the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League of the Palm Beaches,
Incorporated is to provide shelter to lost, homeless and unwanted animals, to provide
spay and neuter and other medical services for companion animals, and to care for,
protect, and find quality homes for homeless and neglected companion animals, to
advocate animal welfare, community involvement and education to further the bond
between people and animals.
Our Vision is to create a community where 100% of the adoptable animals find loving
homes and no animals will be euthanized because of pet overpopulation.

services
