HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Animal Shelter held another Adopt-A-Pet event on Saturday at EAGLE Media, and once again it was a success.
Five of the eight dogs brought to the event were adopted and went home with their new families.
"It was another great Adopt-A-Pet event," Michaela Schommer with the Hutchinson Animal Shelter said. "We are also very grateful for so many amazing volunteers who helped set up and care for the dogs during such a hot day."
The animal shelter has now had 23 dogs adopted from the four Adopt-A-Pet events held at EAGLE Media this year.
Schommer also said the shelter is over capacity with cats.
"We are extending our $25 cat adoption special fee through the end of this week," Schommer said. "Adults and kittens adoption fees are $25 now through Sunday, Aug. 25. All kitties will go home, spayed or neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped."
The Hutchinson Animal Shelter is located at 1501 S. Severance St. and is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
