The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is waiving adoption fees for all adult dogs this week as the shelter hit full capacity. The shelter is now caring for over 120 dogs, plus 39 dogs that are in foster homes. From March 12 to 17, adoption fees for adult dogs are being waived to help clear the shelters. Typically, adoption fees for these dogs range from $175 - $250.
"As one of the few open-admission animal shelters in the state, we take in animals no matter their age, breed, or behavioral and medical needs. Just last week, we tended to a dog who had been shot three times, and was among 10 rescued in a mere 72 hours, pushing our capacity to the limits," says Leslie Dalzell, chief executive officer at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County.
