Across the country, animal rescue organizations are taking part in activities with the singular goal to Clear the Shelters and place dogs and cats in their forever homes. Looking to adopt? Check out these specials going on and ways you can help:
“Super Dogs” Adoption Discount
Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Gardens is offering a discount on adoption fees for their “super dogs,” or dogs who have been at the rescue for more than six months. The $100 fee covers spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, one bag of food and one training session. “At Big Dog Ranch Rescue, we are over capacity and for every dog that’s rescued we have space for us to rescue another dog in need of rescue,” says founder Lauree Simmons. “These dogs have super qualities that make them lovable and quickly adoptable.”
