Metro Denver Shelter Alliance Members to Offer Waived Adoption Fee Special
Summer is a great time to adopt a pet—long, lazy days for playing, training and getting to know your new family member! That’s why participating Metro Denver Shelter Alliance (MDSA) shelters and rescues are offering a five-day “Spring into Summer” metro-wide adoption special. From June 10 to 14, participating shelters and rescue groups are waiving fees for all cats and dogs 1 year and older—a first-of-its-kind collaborative adoption special.
The participating MDSA members include: Adams County Animal Shelter/Adoption Center, Angels With Paws, Aurora Animal Shelter, Denver Animal Shelter, Dumb Friends League, Foothills Animal Shelter, Freedom Service Dogs, Humane Society of Boulder Valley, Intermountain Humane Society, and Longmont Humane Society. Other MDSA shelters and rescues may be offering adoption specials during this time. Be sure to check the MDSA website for more details.
“Shelters and rescues across the metro area are continuing to work collaboratively to place more homeless pets into forever homes,” said Lisa Pedersen, president and CEO of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. “This special is just one of our many initiatives to encourage the community to adopt more homeless pets.”
Formed in 2000, the Metro Denver Shelter Alliance is a coalition of more than 25 public and private shelters, rescues and animal service providers committed to saving pets and fostering responsible pet ownership to increase the number of animals adopted and reunited at shelters throughout the community.
