Mark your calendars for August 29–30, 2026, and help give a shelter pet the loving home they deserve! ❤️🐶🐱

During this special adoption weekend, adoption fees for all dogs and cats will be reduced by 50%! Plus, every adopted pet will go home with a complimentary goody bag filled with treats, toys, and other goodies. 🎁

Every pet available for adoption has been:
🐾 Spayed or neutered
🐾 Microchipped
🐾 Vaccinated (age-appropriate)
🐾 Examined and cared for by the shelter’s veterinarian

🏡 Responsible Adoption Encouraged: Bringing home a pet is a long-term commitment. Families are encouraged to carefully consider their lifestyle and the time, care, and resources needed before adopting.
