Fur Real — What to Expect When Adopting!
Thinking about adopting, but not totally sure what to expect? Join us June 27th & 28th for “Fur Real,” a casual, informative Q&A designed to help set both you and your future pet up for success.
Starting at 11AM both days, shelter staff will chat about the adoption process, what the first few days and weeks at home can realistically look like, how to help your new pet adjust, introductions to resident pets, common behavior questions, decompression periods, and more. There will also be time to ask questions! Light refreshments will be available during the Q&A.
Then at 12PM, the shelter opens for adoptions — so you can head into the adoption process feeling informed, prepared, and confident. As part of the event, adoption fees for pets 6 months and older will be reduced to just $75, and adopters will also go home with a special goodie bag full of supplies and resources to help everyone start off on the right paw.
