Participate in a new pet adoption event at Centro Mayor

Are you ready to change a life and yours too? Next Saturday, July 18, 2026, we await you at Centro Mayor (Calle 58 Bis # 10-32, Chapinero neighborhood) for a pet adoption event organized by the District Institute for Animal Protection and Welfare. Here you will meet dogs and cats that have been rescued, rehabilitated, and eagerly await a second chance. Each has a unique story and a heart ready to fill your home with joy. During the event, which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., you can interact with the animals, receive guidance from caretakers, and learn about the requirements for responsible adoption. There will be play areas, talks on responsible pet ownership, and the opportunity to take your new companion home the same day if you meet the criteria. The atmosphere will be warm and family-friendly, perfect for those seeking a sincere bond. To make your visit easier, we recommend arriving early to avoid lines and bringing a valid ID. If you already have pets at home, consider bringing an item with their scent for gradual introductions. The venue is accessible for people with reduced mobility and has nearby parking. Don't forget to bring water and a leash or carrier in case you decide to adopt. Centro Mayor is an iconic shopping center in Chapinero, known for its inclusive atmosphere and pet-friendly spaces. The District Institute for Animal Protection and Welfare, the event organizer, is the entity responsible for promoting animal welfare in Bogotá, holding adoption, sterilization, and education events. This is your chance to be part of the change: adopt, don't shop!
