Adopt a Senior Pet Month
November 2nd – 30th | Regular Adoption Hours | HSSW
November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! To celebrate, we’re lowering all senior dog adoption fees to $100. Our senior cat adoption fees are already WAIVED thanks to the Cat-R-Walkin’ Home Fund, so our senior cats adopted in November will go home with a special goody bag.
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.
If you’ve been thinking about adding to your family – now’s the time!
