DAVIS COUNTY, Utah (ABC4) — Davis County police and fire agencies are coming together in a friendly competition called “ Davis Adopts ” in an effort to help animals find their “furever” homes.

Starting August 8, and going through August 15, agencies will be competing to see which can adopt out the most animals from Animal Care of Davis County . If you’re planning on adopting at the shelter, let them know which team you’re rooting for to get them points in the competition.
