Rescue Effect Adoption Event #1
August 13th-15th | Regular Adoption Hours | HSSW
From August through October, we’re teaming up with the ASPCA for a nationwide campaign called The Rescue Effect to help more animals find homes. Join us! We have pets of all sizes, ages and wonderful personalities available for adoption — maybe your home is the one they’ve been waiting for!
When you choose adoption, you’ll welcome home the best friend you’ve been dreaming of, and another animal will finally get the care and shelter they need. It’s a ripple: When you adopt one, you save many more. That’s The Rescue Effect.
As a part of this campaign, we will be hosting a series of adoption events from August – October. Our first event starts on Thursday, August 13th and goes through Saturday, August 15th. We will operate within our normal adoption hours during this event (12pm-7pm on Thursday and Friday and 12pm-5pm on Saturday).
Thanks to the support of the ASPCA, adoption fees for our pets* have been covered during this event! Adopters must still follow all normal adoption processes to adopt a pet and pay for any additional required purchases, such as a City of Janesville License, a cat carrier, a leash/collar, etc. *Pets at off-site locations (like Petco) are not included as a part of this event. Additionally, pets in our Adoption Guaranteed Program are also not included in this event.
