BOSTON — Calling all dog lovers, the MSPCA is holding an adopt-a-thon event for people willing to open their hearts and homes to homeless pups.

‘The Matchmaking Game’ is a week-long adoption event to be held February 19-25. During this time, MSPCA will be waiving the adoption fees for dogs over the age of 6 months.

There has been a large drop in adoptions nationwide which is making shelters overpopulated in the U.S.

MSPCA adoption centers are at 90% capacity.

The event will take place at all four adoption centers in Methuen, Boston, Cape, and Salem.
