Foothills Humane Society officials think every pet has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Therefore, to celebrate Independence Day, the shelter will host an Adopt-A-Thon on Saturday, July 2 from noon until 8 p.m.
To facilitate true love matches, all adoption fees will be waived for the day. Adult dogs have undergone obedience training while cats are well socialized.
All animals are healthy with up-to-date vaccinations, spay/neutered and micro-chipped. Adoption counselors will be available, along with the FHS training coordinator, to help match applicants with the perfect pet. A “Pick the Right Pup” seminar at noon will focus on how to choose the right pet for your family.
As an added bonus, the first 25 adopters of a shelter pet will receive a coupon entitling them to purchase microchips for all their other pets at a discounted price.
Free hot dogs and snacks will be available. The Adopt-a-Thon will be held in the recently constructed pavilion. The shelter is located at 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus.
