Free adoptions at Allen County Animal Shelter in November

ALLEN CO., Ky.-For the month of November, all adoption fees for dogs and cats are covered at the Allen County Animal Shelter. 

Alpha Pet Boarding stepped up in a big way and announced they will sponsor all adoptions. 

Owner Jason Hanley said every year, 670,000 dogs alone are euthanized, a lot of them due to overpopulation. That’s 2,000 dogs a day. 

He hopes that by sponsoring these fees, more pets will find their fur-ever home…staff told Hanley they don’t get many adoptions and the animals just sit there. 

“He said we don’t adopt 30 dogs in a year. And that really upsets me. It just made me try to think of different things we can do to help these organizations,” said Hanley. 

Hanley said the only way to prevent overpopulation is spay or neuter your pet.
