Looking for Love: Valentine’s Day Adoption Specials for Shelter Pets

As Valentine’s Day approaches, love is in the air—not just for people, but for our furry friends at local animal shelters. This season of romance isn’t only about chocolates and roses; it’s an opportunity to open your heart and home to a rescue pet seeking love. This year, multiple shelters are hosting special adoption events featuring reduced fees, allowing you to bring home a new best friend without breaking the bank. Let’s delve into what these shelters are offering and how you can make a difference in a pet’s life.

Heartwarming Adoption Specials

• Friends of Strays: From February 14–16, 2025, Friends of Strays is pulling out all the stops with a Valentine’s adoption special. This event offers $25 off adoption fees for cats and kittens, and a whopping $50 off for dogs and puppies. All pets come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ensuring you’re bringing home a healthy companion.
• Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center: This shelter is also getting in on the action with a special promotion for adult dog adoptions at just $50 during the same period. Like Friends of Strays, all pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and prepped for their new homes.

How You Can Help

In addition to adopting, these shelters stress the importance of being prepared. It’s essential to have proper carriers for cats and leashes for dogs as you welcome your new family member. This responsibility not only enhances the pet’s comfort during transport but also sets the tone for a wonderful start to your lives together.

Why Adopt a Shelter Pet?

Adopting from a shelter not only saves a life but also enriches your own. Pets provide unconditional love, are great companions, and offer endless joy. Every year, countless animals await adoption in shelters, hoping for that special someone to take them home. Participating in events like the Valentine’s specials helps connect loving humans with pets who truly need them.

Get Involved!

This Valentine’s Day, consider giving the gift of love to a shelter pet. If you’re not ready to adopt just yet, you can support your local shelter in other ways—donations of supplies, volunteering your time, or even spreading the word can make a significant impact. Every little bit helps to create a better environment for these lovable companions.
