HUNTSVILLE – Potential pet owners looking for a four-legged friend to share summertime fun are invited by Huntsville Animal Services to check out possible playmates during its newest effort to find homes for its residents.
From now through the end of the month, the shelter is waiving fees on most adult dogs and cats as part of a Spot and Adopt Your Summer Sidekick campaign. Some exclusions apply.
To help kick off the promotion, Animal Services invites the public to visit and enjoy a free hot dog Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or while supplies last. The shelter will also have cut-up hot dogs for adoptable pups.
Animal Services Interim Director Virgie Graham said now is a great time to adopt. Warmer weather presents great opportunities for long walks, nature hikes, a game of fetch or standing around the grill.
For those who prefer the company of a more relaxed pet, the shelter has plenty of adoptable cats and kittens.
“We’re committed to finding loving homes for all our animals,” Graham said. “The Spot and Adopt Your Summer Sidekick promotion is designed to reduce the shelter population and give these wonderful pets the chance to thrive in a home environment.”
Each adoptable pet is spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated before leaving the shelter. Pets are also treated with a three-month application of flea and tick preventative. Animals come with a City of Huntsville license and a free bag of pet food while supplies last. Click here to see photos, ages and descriptions of available animals for adoption.
Huntsville Animal Services is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Tuesday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Animal Services will be closed Monday for Memorial Day.
