Humane society to host Shelter Spring Adoption Event

The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo and Stratford Perth will host a special adoption event soon.

On April 5-6, the humane society will welcome people to the Shelter Spring Adoption Event. During the event, the humane society will be offering $100 off adoption fees for adult dogs.

The event will be a walk-in style adoption event, and there are over 100 animals currently in care waiting for a new home.

While the adoption fees are discounted by $100 for adult dogs, all other adoption fees remain the same.

Fees include spay/neuter surgery, parasite treatment, microchipping, vaccines, and an initial supply of food for dogs and cats. All household members, including other dogs, must be present for meet-and-greets.

"Spring is the perfect time for fresh starts, and we’re excited to help our animals find their forever homes," said Victoria Baby, Chief Executive Officer, HSKWSP. "Adopting a pet brings joy and companionship, and we hope this event will make that dream a reality for many of our animals."

"Many of our long-term resident dogs have been waiting for months to find the perfect family. Every adoption creates a space for another pet in need," added Amanda Hawkins, Senior Manager of Animal Care at HSKWSP. "If you’ve been considering adopting, this is the great opportunity to meet your new best friend."
