On Saturday, May 4, the Atlantic County Animal Shelter will waive all adoption fees for dogs weighing 25 pounds and more as part of its Star Wars-themed promotion, “May the 4th Be with You.” Appointments are not needed for this event.
This special promotion is in addition to a 50 percent discount on adoption fees for senior pets and cats available for immediate adoption. Veterans who adopt a pet are also entitled to receive a 50 percent discount at all times.
Regular adoption fees are $110 for dogs and puppies and $85 for cats and kittens and include mandatory sterilization, age-appropriate vaccinations, diagnostic testing, a microchip and free veterinary consultation. Adopted canines also receive two free obedience classes.
If you are considering adding a pet to your family, this is a great time to look at the wonderful animals available at the Atlantic County Animal Shelter. The shelter is open daily, 1 p.m. to 4 pm. Please call (609) 485-2345 for more information.
