With the holidays
approaching, wouldn’t it be great to be able to choose who you’re going to
spend them with? The Dumb Friends League is giving you that chance: from now
through Dec. 31, you can adopt a cat or dog for 50 percent off the adoption fee.
“We have reduced adoption
fees because we would rather see more cats and dogs in loving homes than in our
shelters, especially during the holiday season,” said Bob Rohde, president and
CEO of the Dumb Friends League.
The 50-percent-off
adoption special will be offered at both shelter locations—the
Quebec Street shelter in Denver and the Buddy Center in Castle Rock—as well as
the adoption center at Northfield Stapleton, the Pet Care-avan mobile adoption
unit and at select PetCo locations. The reduced adoption fee includes a
spay/neuter surgery, initial vaccinations, microchip ID implant and a free
office visit with a participating veterinarian.
“Our number-one goal is to
find forever homes for all of the cats and dogs in our care,” said Theresa
Geary, vice president of operations at the Dumb Friends League. “And, why not come
in and find the perfect pet now for half the price?”
Families that cannot adopt
at this time can still help by becoming foster parents. Foster parents provide
temporary care for an animal in their home until it is ready for adoption or until
space is available at the shelters. The League provides foster families with
food and supplies, as well as veterinary care for pets as needed.
