Couldn't muster up the nickels and dimes for the New York Avenue Adoption Center's last adopt-a-thon in May? Well you're in luck because today and tomorrow, the center is having another one, only instead of offering name-your-own-price adoption fees, the Washington Humane Society is dropping adoption fees altogether. Yes, you heard right. FREE PETS.
According to a press release, the center took nearly 800 animals in the month of May alone, and now their adoption centers are at capacity, with "cats, dogs, bunnies and other small animals [paired] up in kennels, living in the offices of doting staff members, and waiting patiently in temporary foster homes." Stephanie Shain, the Washington Humane Society's chief operating officer added that ?due to our high intake, coupled with our commitment to save as many lives as possible, we are waiving adoption fees to encourage more people to visit the adoption centers and meet the pet of their dreams."
Yes, the pet of your dreams that you can love, nurture, and make hilarious GIFs with.
The standard adoption process applies, which includes bringing a photo ID, proof of current residence, a veterinarian?s contact information (if you currently have pets), as well as bringing any household members who should meet the pet (children, roommates, etc.). Also, there is a $15 dog license fee required for D.C. residents adopting dogs. All animals will already be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, tested for heartworm disease, and have a permanent identification microchip, so you won't have to worry about losing them (hopefully).
You can check out all the pets up for adoption over at the Washington Humane Society's web site.
