Animal Services waives adoption fees Oct. 1-15
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Due to a recent swell in available dogs and cats at its shelter, Fayetteville Animal Services will waive adoption fees for two weeks starting Tuesday, Oct. 1.
The "Fall Adoption Event" runs through Tuesday, Oct. 15. It aims to enhance the lives of adoptable pets and their new families, as well as help Animal Services sustain the space and resources necessary for its lifesaving community efforts.
"As the weather turns cooler, adoption rates often decline, causing shelters to near their capacity limits," Animal Services Superintendent Justin Lentz said.
"By choosing to adopt, you're providing a loving home to a pet and making room for another animal in need."
Animal Services is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. All available dogs, puppies, cats and kittens will be spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
The adoption process starts online, where adopters can fill out a simple form. Once the application is approved, adopters are invited to come in at their convenience to find the perfect fit!
Animal Services is located at 1640 S. Armstrong Ave. To learn more about the quick and easy adoption process - and to see pictures of available pets - go to: https://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/539/Animal-Adoption-Process.
