TACOMA, Wash. — The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is waiving adoption fees for all pets from Friday, August 1, through Sunday, August 3, in partnership with the national Clear The Shelters initiative.
Nearly 200 pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, are currently available for adoption at the shelter, with more than 300 others in foster homes becoming available daily.
“The days and weeks surrounding the Fourth of July holiday are a notoriously busy time for animal shelters, ours included,” said Lauren Green, Director of Marketing and Communications at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. “We are looking forward to helping many individuals and families welcome a new pet into their lives this weekend. Every adoption gives a deserving pet a second chance, and also creates life-changing space for animals in need in our open-admission shelter.”
Currently, 74 dogs, 87 cats, and 10 rabbits are available for adoption, with more becoming available daily. To view available animals, visit thehumanesociety.org/adopt.
