GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — If there was ever a time for you to get a furry friend for your household, it may be now.
That's because the Guilford County Animal Shelter is teaming up with BISSELL Pet Foundations for their "Empty the Shelters" national adoption event through the month of July.
Adoption pricing is below:
Senior cats (7+ years): Free
Adult cats (7 months - 7 years): $75
Kittens (under 7 months): $75
Senior Dogs (7 years+): Free
Adult Dogs (7 months- 7 years) $25
Puppies (under 7 months): $25
The BISSELL Pet Foundation makes it possible for adopters to give these adorable pets their forever homes by reducing adoption fees across the country from July 8-31.
Conveniently, the program allows prospective owners to adopt pets that are already spayed, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped so they're ready to join their new families without a hitch.
The adoption event was created in an effort to make pet adoptions affordable, therefore allowing more pets to find homes. According to the ASPCA, approximately 6.3 million animals are taken to shelters in the U.S. every year.
Only 4.1 million of them are adopted.
