Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society to host adoption event

If you’re looking for your next FURever friend, you’ll have a great opportunity this weekend.

On Saturday, the Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society is hosting a big adoption event at Petco on Campbell Lane. All dogs and cats will be 50% off their standard adoption rate. The cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, first vaccinations, flea prevention and more.

Shelter officials say they are desperate to adopt out as many animals as possible.

"Right now we are at maximum capacity," said Leah Lawrence, an employee at the Humane Society. "Around the 4th of July, when pets gets spooked, our intake skyrockets. We’re trying to find ways to get the pets that are already here, homes, so we can make some space."

The adoption event will take place from 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

Humane Society employees also say they are in need of cleaning supplies such as, bleach and laundry detergent.
