October 8, 2012 | by kdelmonico

Adopt-A-Palooza Event Flyer Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month continues here at One Discovery Place, as we gear up for Thursday’s R.O.A.R. event, Adopt-A- Palooza, with the Animal Planet and Petfinder teams.

More than 30 adorable, adoptable cats and dogs will be here at the Discovery Communications’ Sensory Garden in Downtown Silver Spring, hoping to find their fur-ever home. The event is open to the public so, if you or someone you know is looking to adopt a pet, come join us! Adoption events are a great way to meet a variety of pets and get a feel for the animal’s personality, and honestly, what better way to spend an afternoon than getting to know adorable animals?

Even if you’re not planning to adopt a pet any time soon, you can shop pet products, snack on tasty treats and win prizes. Swing by Adopt-A-Palooza on Thursday, October 11, from 4-6 pm — we hope to see you there!

Chompie on Discovery Communications Headquarters in 2010

After a cross-country trip, our beloved Chompie has returned to Silver Spring and this weekend crews will help him take his rightful place — on our company’s headquarters, One Discovery Place, in Silver Spring. In conjunction with his return and in anticipation of the 25th annual Shark Week (premiering on Sunday, August 12 on Discovery Channel), we have several ways for our neighbors in the D.C. area to celebrate the most jawsome time of the year:

  • Enter Our #ChompiePic Contest: Simply follow @DiscoveryComm on Twitter, snap a photo of Chompie (we’re looking for quality, originality and humor) and tweet it using the #ChompiePic hashtag. We’ll pick four winners across three weeks to win delicious burrito packs from our friends at California Tortilla! (Download the full rules.)
  • Request a #ChompieAttack at Work: Chompie’s little brother, Chompie Jr., will be making his way around the metro area, bringing a California Tortilla feast for 20 to local businesses the week of August 6. Simply tweet @DiscoveryComm letting us know where you work and that you’d like a #ChompieAttack, and we’ll pick several people to surprise!
  • Join Our Community Screening: Mark your calendar for Friday, August 10 at 8:30pm! We’ll be hosting a screening of Shark Week‘s Sharkzilla in downtown Silver Spring on the Fountain Plaza (Ellsworth Drive). Bring your own chair, blanket or beach towel and be prepared for fin-tastic fun, including pics wit Chompie Jr., prizes and more!

We’re clearly ready for Shark Week…are you?
