Society sets event on pet adoptions
The Pulaski County Humane Society will participate in the Bissell Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters event from Wednesday to Sunday, a release from the organization said.
Dogs and cats will be available for adoption at $25 during the event, according to a Facebook post.
This is an emergency event to get large dogs weighing 40 pounds or more, adult cats 6 months or older, and senior dogs 7 years or older into loving homes, according to a release by the foundation.
A sponsorship by the foundation will lower the adoption cost to $25 for the animals. Those unable to adopt are asked to donate to the Empty the Shelters fund to help sponsor adoptions.
