TACOMA, Wash. — The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County (HSTPC) will waive adoption fees for certain large dogs from now until Oct. 4 as part of a homecoming event with Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love program has helped more than 16 million cats and dogs find new homes since 2002.
“During the campaign, Hill’s will contribute up to $100,000 to offset adoption fees at select Food, Shelter & Love partner locations in the United States. At Tacoma Humane, adoption fees will be waived for eligible large dogs weighing 40 pounds or more. Adopters will also receive a New Pet Parent Kit from Hill’s, which includes a starter bag of Hill’s Science Diet, coupons, and post-adoption tips.”
Currently, there are 23 dogs weighing 40 pounds or more that are available for adoption at HSTPC.
According to HSTPC, large dogs spend 70% longer in shelters than small dogs.
