The Hutchinson Animal Shelter is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a little luck and a lot of love, offering a special adoption promotion designed to help adult pets find their forever homes.
Now through St. Patrick’s Day, anyone adopting an adult dog or adult cat at the shelter will have the chance to receive a discounted — or even free — adoption fee through the shelter’s “Clover Wall” promotion.
Under the promotion, prospective adopters first meet a pet and complete the standard adoption application and approval process. Once approved, adopters will pull a clover from the shelter’s Clover Wall at the time of payment. The amount written on the back of the clover will determine the adoption fee, with possibilities ranging from $5 off the regular price to completely free.
Shelter staff say the promotion is designed to encourage more people to consider adopting adult animals, which are often overlooked compared to puppies and kittens.
Adult pets can offer several advantages for new owners. Their personalities are already established, and many have moved beyond the high-energy stages that come with very young animals, making them easier for some families to integrate into their homes.
The Hutchinson Animal Shelter hopes the promotion will help more adult dogs and cats find permanent homes during the St. Patrick’s Day season.
Residents interested in adopting can visit the Hutchinson Animal Shelter anytime between now and St. Patrick’s Day to meet available pets and try their luck on the Clover Wall.
