by Humane Pennsylvania

Jan 21, 2022

Humane Pennsylvania is celebrating National Change A Pet’s Life Day, which officially takes place on Monday, January 24th, with a four-day, fee-waived adoption event. From Friday, January 21st to Monday, January 24th, Humane Pennsylvania is giving community members the opportunity to adopt a shelter dog, cat, or critter, and ALL adoption fees will be waived at the Berks and Lancaster County shelter campuses thanks to our generous sponsor, Auman Funeral Homes.

Kyle Blankenbiller, Auman Funeral Homes Funeral Director, expresses his support for this upcoming event; “We’re excited to support Humane Pennsylvania’s ongoing mission to build the best community anywhere for animals and encourage the community to come out and visit the amazing animals in their care. Events like these are pivotal to ensuring that all animals find loving forever homes. Not just on National Change a Pet’s Life Day, but every day.”

Adopters wishing to provide a loving home for shelter animals are encouraged to visit the shelter campuses or HumanePA.org. All potential adopters are required to go through Humane Pennsylvania’s diligent adoption screening process (approval is not guaranteed).

Adoptions include:

  • Humane Pennsylvania’s 30-day Adoption Health Supplement
  • Spaying or neutering (prior to adoption)
  • Vaccinations (including current rabies vaccination) and de-worming medication
  • Flea treatment
  • Microchipping and chip registration
