ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Pet lovers from our part of the Milky Way made their way to the city’s animal shelters and Lucky Paws store at Coronado Center for a Star Wars-themed adoption event on Saturday.

“Our Adopt a Star Wars Pet was an enormous success,” said Desiree Cawley of the Animal Welfare Department. “‘The Force’ was strong today for our sheltered pets. Our staff members and volunteers worked tirelessly all day long to serve potential adopters who came through our doors.”

The effort was worth it. By day’s end, more than 90 pets found homes, Cawley said.

Animal Welfare thanked Petco, 501st Legion, Groomingdales Pet Spa and Winstonfoto.com for supporting the effort.
