National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day Adoption Event
April 26, 2024 - April 30, 2024 | 11:00 am to 7:00 pm
The Animal Foundation and Best Friends Animal Society are teaming up to waive adoption fees for ALL cats and dogs in the shelter from Friday, April 26 through Tuesday, April 30! **
Since April 30th is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, we want to make sure as many shelter pets can find loving homes as possible!
The fee-waived adoptions include spay/neuter surgery, microchip, and up-to-date vaccines for appropriate animals. A $10 license fee may apply.
** Please note, we are closed to the public on Mondays.
How the Adoption Process Works:
- Visit https://animalfoundation.com/adopt-a-pet/adoption-search to browse adoptable animals to have an idea of what you are looking for when you arrive. An adoption counselor will work with you to help match you with an appropriate pet.
- Adoptions take place on a first-come, first-served basis for walk-in traffic, beginning at 11 a.m.
- Please note, patrons often line up before we open to meet a pet, especially during fee-waived adoption events.
- We do not place holds on pets.
- Please do not bring your current pets with you to the shelter. We do not allow in-shelter dog-to-dog introductions. The shelter is a strange and stressful place for most pets and does not provide an accurate indication of how the animals will act in a home environment. The most successful dog-to-dog introductions are properly staged outside the shelter environment. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly introduce your new pet to resident pet(s).
