BROWARD COUNTY - Although most County Government offices will be closed on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, Broward County Animal Care and Adoption will be OPEN for individuals still looking for the perfect family gift – a furry friend. The adoption center at 2400 SW 42nd Street in Fort Lauderdale will be open from noon to 4PM for families and last minute shoppers to come by and adopt a dog or cat.
