HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Michaela Schommer with the Hutchinson Animal Shelter said the need for adoptions of both dogs and cats never stops, and EAGLE Media is helping again by hosting an Adopt-A-Pet event Saturday starting at 11 a.m. at 825 North Main.
"The shelter is never empty, unfortunately," Schommer said. "For every outgoing animal there's probably two or three coming in."
The plan is to have as many pets out at the event as they can, but that's dependent on how many people volunteer to help.
"We always aim to bring about 10 to 12," Schommer said. "It is dependent upon how many volunteers are out here just to help manage all those animals and right now I need about eight more volunteers so if you're already registered and have assisted at an adoption event or at the shelter before please respond to my email."
There also will be a special deal that day for adoptions.
"For Saturday's event, we are doing a slightly reduced rate," Schommer said. "All dogs will just be $100 and all cats at the shelter are $25 for the day."
The event will end at 2 p.m. Saturday.
