Bonnie Hays Shelter Temporarily Reducing Adoption Fees To Help a Shelter Full of Animals Find Great Homes
The Bonnie L. Hays Small Animal Shelter is bursting at the seams with cats, kittens, dogs and even older puppies. To help animals find good homes, the shelter is reducing adoption rates through June 18 for adult cats and dogs and for kittens.
“We’re having adoption specials on dogs and cats – we’re hoping some great people will take this opportunity to find the pets of their dreams,” says Deborah Wood, manager of Animal Services for Washington County.
Adoption Special Prices(Good through June 18):
Adult Cats (over one year old): $10
Kittens (under a year): $80 for the first kitten/$40 for the second one
Adult Dogs (over a year): $100
Puppies (under a year): $150
Every animal is spayed or neutered before adoption. They are micro-chipped and up-to-date on all shots. Dogs come with a one-year Washington County license, and cats have been tested negative for the cat diseases of FIV and Feline Leukemia.
“These animals have about $300 to $400 worth of services put into them. Adopting at these rates is an incredible bargain,” says Wood.
Because the shelter has so many animals right now, the selection of great pets is especially large. “Do you like big dogs? How about small ones? Long-haired cats? Short-haired sleek ones? Kittens? We have something for every animal lover,” says Wood
