Give a Shelter Pet a New Year and a New Life!
As 2015 kicks off, the Nevada Humane Society is proud to see the number of pets in their shelter diminishing, thanks to a successful holiday adoption season. However, there are still many wonderful pets in need of loving homes and as a new year has begun, now is the time to give a deserving pet a new life—in your home!
“The hype of the holiday season of giving and love opened up doors for so many pets to find homes. Now, with a new year underway, our goal is to place some of our pets that have been here longer than others into the homes they deserve,” said Kimberly Wade, Senior Manager of Communications and Events for Nevada Humane Society. “While our average length of stay for both cats and dogs is less than 18 days, there are some animals that reside here longer and to give them a new year and a new life would be the best gift all of us could ask for. The New Year is not just about us as people. It’s about the animals too and there isn’t a better way to start off the New Year than by helping someone less fortunate—a homeless pet!”
Adoption fees during this special animal adoption promotion:
- · Adult Cat Over the Age of Three: FREE
- · Adult Cat Under the Age of Three: $25
