Hollywood Casino, Morgantown, is sponsoring an adoption event at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County (ARL) on Wednesday, May 13. During this one-day event, adoption fees for animals 6 months of age and older will be waived.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the ARL, located at 58 Kennel Road, Birdsboro, PA. This sponsorship provides the opportunity for community members to welcome a new pet into their homes while helping shelter animals find families of their own.
Bringing a new family member into a home takes time and careful consideration. Potential adopters should be prepared to complete an adoption profile and meet with an adoption counselor to ensure the best possible match for their home, family, and lifestyle.
Adopters are encouraged to bring all household members to meet their potential new pet. Those adopting dogs should also bring any resident dogs for a meet-and-greet. Dog adopters must be prepared to pay $11.30 for a Pennsylvania dog license, as required by law, and should bring a collar and leash (or purchase one at the ARL). Cat adopters should bring a carrier or may purchase one at the shelter.
No appointments are necessary for this event. Guests may experience extended wait times due to the popularity of sponsored adoption days.

For over 70 years, the organization has worked tirelessly to care for the sick, treat the injured, comfort the unwanted, and protect the abused. Whether helping people in need keep their pets through surrender prevention programs, offering low-cost veterinary services and clinics, as well as outreach and education events throughout the county, the ARL’s work goes far beyond the walls of the shelter.
