Wyandotte Animals to be Featured at Saturday 'Home for the Holidays' Adoption Event

The will be hosting a “Home for the Holidays” adoption event on Saturday in hopes of connecting would-be pet owners and their furry friends.

“Since the spring of this year, there has been a huge influx in the number of cats, kittens, dogs and puppies at the (pound),” volunteer Janel Somerset said in a press release. 

“Every year between April and October, animal shelters and rescue groups fill up with hundreds of cats and dogs looking for homes, and the Wyandotte (pound) is no different.”

Volunteers will be showcasing some of the adoptable four-legged companions from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the .

“There will be many dogs and cats, all hoping for a loving home for the holidays,” Somerset said. “All of the animals will have received age-appropriate vaccinations and will have been spayed or neutered.”

The adoption fee is $65 for cats and kittens and $95 for puppies and dogs, which covers the cost of the vet work they’ve had done to date.

Applications must be filled out prior to adopting an animal, which sometimes precludes a same-day adoption. However, the forms can be downloaded from the group’s website and submitted beforehand to ensure an on-the-spot adoption.

Baked goods and personalized pet ID tags will be available for sale Saturday. Appointments also can be made for microchipping. The cost is discounted to $10 if paid for on the same day as an animal is adopted. The procedure will be performed at a later time.
