Barktoberfest Specials This Week

Today and tomorrow are the last two days of:

"Two for $20" Special on all cats and kittens at the Douglas County Animal Shelter. There remain over 150 cats in the shelter who need homes desperately. Come see these wonderful felines and consider giving one of them a forever home.

"Labs for Ladies" Runs through Sunday. All Labrador Retrievers and Lab mixes are 1/2 off of the regular $35 adoption fee. That means the ladies can adopt one of these sweet labs for only $17.50 There remain many to choose from along with a number of other dogs who qualify for the extended:

"Old Timers Round Up Special" Dogs who qualify as long term residents of the shelter (more than 30 days) remain available at a reduced rate of 1/2 priced adoption. Come see all of these specials this week and consider giving one of these great pets a home. 

If you are interested in adopting one of the many other dogs or cats that are available for adoption at the shelter, please take the time to visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road) this week.

Douglas County Animal Control maintains PetFinder listings on their website.

Or you can visit the Douglas County shelter pets posted and profiled daily on volunteer pages at: Rainbow Connections on Facebook  Or our sister page at: Furbabies of DCAS on Facebook.

Pet listings on each of these pages are updated daily; therefore, some animals featured may be adopted prior to your visiting the shelter. Finding forever homes for these pets is the goal, so please consider giving another loving pet a hoe if the one you first saw has already been adopted. Come see these sweet dogs and cats and allow them to show you just how special they each can be once they are given a chance to be loved and have a home.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats at the shelter are $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. That mean for $35 you have the opportunity to make a friend for life and the opportunity to give a homeless fur kid a forever home. All during October! There are weekly specials and special adoption pricing for adoptions on many of the Dogs and Cats!  So don't miss the opportunity to adopt your new best friend this month.

All dogs presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough, parvo and distemper (cats receive distemper as part of a five way vaccination). All pets adopted from the shelter are required to have their rabies shots and be spayed or neutered within thirty days of adoption, unless they are kittens or puppies, Kittens and puppies are given extended time.
