Huntsville Animal Services (HAS) is waiving adoption fees on most adult dogs this week to help them find loving, caring homes before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Additionally, adult cats can be adopted for $10, though some are also free to a good home. Kittens and puppies are $50.

Lowered adoption fees as well as no-fee adoptions help reduce shelter populations. For those who can’t adopt right now, HAS offers a sleepover foster program for the holidays.

“We have some amazing animals that would make great companions during the holiday season and beyond,” said Dr. Karen Sheppard, director of HAS. “If you can take a dog to foster for a night or two, that’s still better than being in a kennel.”

Each adoptable pet is vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and comes with a City license and free bag of pet food, while supplies last.

Located at 4950 Triana Blvd. in Huntsville, the shelter is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday. HAS will be closed Nov. 25-27 for the Thanksgiving holiday.
