Anyone looking for a pet can probably find the perfect furry family addition at one of the three free pet adoption events in Jacksonville this weekend.

The Jacksonville Humane Society is sponsoring the free adoptions in order to relieve overcrowding at local animal shelters.

Officials say hundreds of cats and dogs will be available at the Petsmart on Monument Road, the Humane Society on Beach Boulevard and the Animal Care and Protective Services shelter on Forrest Street.

The hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Saturday and Sunday.

While the adoptions are free, the Humane Society says additional fees may apply.
