Animal Management & Welfare (AMW) is excited to announce a special Graduation Adoption Event taking place May 23-25. The event is designed to help some of the shelter’s longest-resident animals “graduate” from shelter life into loving forever homes.
During the three-day event, all animals that have been in the shelter’s care for 50 days or more will be available for adoption at 50% off standard adoption fees. Currently, 22 long-stay animals are waiting for a second chance, and this initiative aims to spotlight them and connect them with families ready to welcome a new pet.
Adding to the fun, the shelter is offering “Diploma Discounts” for students of all ages. Community members are encouraged to bring a recent report card or diploma, with additional adoption fee discounts based on academic performance. Students with straight A’s can receive up to an additional $20 off their adoption fee.
“Our long-stay animals have been waiting patiently for an opportunity to find a home,” said Kali Dennis, Outreach Manager at AMW. “We want to give them the recognition they deserve as they ‘graduate’ into the next chapter of their lives.”
With the arrival of summer, now is an ideal time to adopt. Families often have more flexibility in their schedules, allowing for a smoother transition and more time to bond with a new pet.
All adopted animals will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to go home with their new families.
The community is encouraged to attend, meet these deserving animals and help give them the fresh start they’ve been waiting for.
