The Animal Rescue League of Berks County (ARL) will host free adoptions in a week-long event starting June 8 and continuing June 10-14. During the event, all pets over six months of age will be free to adopt.
This special adoption sponsorship is made possible by Ruby and Remmy, two beloved dogs whose family has chosen to cover adoption fees for all qualifying animals throughout the event, in order to help more pets find loving homes.
Bringing a new family member into a home takes time and careful consideration, so potential adopters should be prepared to complete an adoption profile and meet with a counselor to ensure that the pet they select is a good match for their home, family, and lifestyle.
Adopters are encouraged to bring their family members to meet their new pet at the time of adoption. Dog adopters should bring their resident dogs to ensure a good match and be prepared to pay $11.30 for a dog license, which is required at the time of adoption under PA law. They should also bring a dog collar and leash (or they can purchase one from the ARL). Cat adopters should bring a cat carrier (or they can purchase one from the ARL for $5.00).
The ARL will be open on Monday, and Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No appointments are necessary. A virtual “line” is set up at berksarl.org/hello, where guests can check in when they arrive at the shelter. All guests will be able to check their place in line and be notified when it’s their turn to work with an adoption counselor. Extended wait times during sponsored adoption events are expected. The ARL is closed on Tuesday.
