HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The next Adopt-A-Pet event is Saturday, July 8th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the EAGLE Media studios with the Hutchinson Animal Shelter.
"We are still at our max capacity, we're just not over it," said Michaela Schommer with the Animal Shelter. "We have 40 dog kennels in our dog center. They are large and typically, we have one dog per kennel. We don't like to double up. You know, if they are like little tiny Chihuahuas or little buddies that are puppies, there might be four to five in a kennel together."
There are currently 56 dogs at the shelter as of this week. Please stop by to adopt a new pet or make a donation to help with care and feeding of pets at the shelter.
"We don't want to be full at 40," Schommer said. "We always have to have open space for the strays, the Animal Control bite cases, things that have nowhere to go and anyone caring for them need to come in to us."
There is also a special deal on adoptions this month.
"Bissell are doing another big sponsorship event," Schommer said. "All of our dogs from July 6th through the 31st are going to be a reduced $50 adoption fee, except for puppies under four months."
Come play with the pets in the grassy area next to the studios at 8th and Main and enjoy some local community businesses that will also have booths set up on the EAGLE Media yard.
