Humane Pennsylvania is celebrating National Change A Pet’s Life Day with a four-day, fee-waived adoption event, generously sponsored by Silverbox Creative Studio. Change A Pet’s Life Day, which falls on Jan. 24, was created to encourage people to adopt pets from shelters and raise awareness about animals in need. From Wednesday, Jan. 24 to Saturday, Jan. 27, dogs, cats, and critters at the Berks and Lancaster County shelter campuses will be free to safe, loving homes.
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). Some restrictions may apply. Pets under six months of age are not included in this promotion.
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
