March Madness

It was the scream heard ‘round Gainesville and, perhaps, all of collegiate sports. A thunderous clangor rang out from the more than 11,000 fans wedged together at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. The national championship returned to Gainesville for the first time since 2014, and UF students greeted it with a deafening roar.

The Clay County Animal Services (CCAS) created a championship to give deserving dogs a home. Sixteen dogs were chosen for the adoption tournament modeled after March Madness.
