The Haywood County Animal Shelter, located at 245 Hemlock Street in Waynesville, is holding an Open House on Saturday, June 13th from 9 am to 4 pm.
"Many dogs and cats have been coming into the shelter lately, but adoptions are down during this economic recession. This event is to increase the awareness of the wonderful dogs and cats at the shelter that need homes, " said Jean Hazzard, Director of Animal Control. "Many are loving family pets that had to be surrendered by their owners because of the economic downturn," Hazzard continued.
Connie Hewitt, Sarge Board Member said "Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation is helping with the event by offering free micro chips
and lower adoption fees for most dogs that are adopted that day. All dogs that need to be spayed/neutered can be adopted for $53.00 which includes the surgery and rabies vaccination!"
Since June is Adopt A Cat Month, all cats/kittens adopted that day will receive a special adoption rate of $27.50 for males and $37.50 for females. Fee includes spay/neuter and rabies vaccination. In addition, each feline adopted will receive a free litter box and bag of cat/kitten food.
