Plenty of Time to Celebrate Adopt-A-Dog Month!
Kern County Animal Control Still Has Many Wonderful Dogs Waiting for New Homes!
Kern County Animal Control is celebrating the American Humane Association’s National Adopt-A-Dog Month this October. There is still plenty of time to visit any of the three shelters and adopt a furry friend this month.
“We want people to know that we still have many wonderful dogs waiting for a new home. Anyone who adopts a dog from Kern County Animal Control through the end of this month will receive a $20 discount on the adoption fee,” stated Maggie Kalar, Marketing & Promotions Associate for the Department. “In honor of this special month, all dog adoptions have been reduced to encourage people to open their heart and home to adopt a special friend.”
Dogs under four months of age will be just $40 to adopt, while dogs four months or over will be just $55 to adopt. Adoption fees include the spay/neuter fee, first series of canine vaccinations; starter bag of Science Diet food; a pet related DVD*; free pet exam voucher,* and a leash*. (*While supplies last.) Dogs four months or older will also receive their Rabies vaccination and one year Kern County license.
Companionship, improved physical and emotional health, social interaction and devoted love are just a few of the super-size benefits of having a dog. Dogs also encourage people to exercise, enhance family and social relationships, promote laughter and act as a non-judgmental audience and sounding board.
“During these tough economic times, we hope that our special adoption promotion will continue to encourage people to make adoption their first option,” said Kalar.
Kern County Animal Control Shelters invite people to visit with the available dogs and find the one that is right for them. Every shelter dog deserves a loving, permanent home.
