Pet adoption fees will be reduced to just $30 for a dog or a cat at the Regional Animal Services of King County shelter in Kent for the next several weeks.<\/p>\n
Regional Animal Services of King County is joining with hundreds of other animal shelters nationwide in the Clear The Shelters initiative, according to an Aug. 7 county press release. During this special event, which runs from Aug. 10 through Sept. 10, the fee to adopt a cat or dog is just $30, the cost of a pet license.<\/p>\n
“Adopting a pet from RASKC is always a great value, and during the Clear The Shelters campaign it’s even better,” said shelter manager Dr. Gene Mueller. “No matter if you’re looking for a dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, or other companion, our goal is always to match great pets with great homes.”<\/p>\n
Adoption fees typically can cost $50, $75 or $100, depending on the animal, plus the cost of a pet license.<\/p>\n
Clear The Shelters is sponsored by NBCUniversal Local and Telemundo, in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Greater Good Charities. The initiative, now in its 10th year, promotes pet adoptions and helps raise funds for participating shelters and rescues across the nation.<\/p>\n
In 2023, more than 158,000 pets were adopted during the campaign. In total, more than one million pets have found new homes thanks to Clear The Shelters.<\/p>\n
