The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County has recently seen an influx of over 500 pets in just the last two weeks, leading to overcrowding in their kennels. In response to this, the organization has decided to waive adoption fees for adult dogs, adult cats, and all critters until Sunday, June 16. This fee-free adoption window is aimed at encouraging more people to adopt these animals and help alleviate the strain on the shelter.
With some kennels now housing multiple dogs due to the high number of incoming pets, the humane society has set up temporary kennels to accommodate them. This surge in new arrivals is a common occurrence during the summer months when more pets tend to get lost and end up in shelters.
In addition to waiving adoption fees, the humane society is also looking for individuals who are interested in fostering a dog. The organization is in urgent need of foster families to provide temporary care for these animals until they can find their forever homes. Those interested in fostering can find more information on how to get involved on the humane society’s website.
For anyone in Pierce County or the surrounding western Washington area who is considering adding a new furry friend to their family, this is a great opportunity to do so while also supporting a good cause. By adopting or fostering a pet from the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, you can make a difference in the lives of these animals and help free up space in the shelter for more incoming pets.
