National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day is celebrated nationwide on April 30, 2023, and raises awareness for thousands of pets waiting for their new forever homes. Humane Pennsylvania is observing the day by hosting a three-day, fee-waived adoption event, generously sponsored by Muller Rare Coins & Fine Jewelry!
From Friday, April 28th until Sunday, April 30th, ALL dogs, cats, and critters at the Berks and Lancaster County adoption centers will be free to safe, loving homes. Muller Rare Coins believes, “When you adopt from a shelter, you’re giving an animal a chance at a loving forever home. We support Humane Pennsylvania because we know they care about the health and welfare of all of the animals in their shelters.” They continued on by saying, “Rescued is our favorite breed! Adopt, don’t shop; you just may find your new best friend!”
Adopters wishing to provide a forever 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
