MSCPA to waive fees during 'Missed Connections' adoption event
BOSTON (WWLP) – The MSPCA and their partners throughout Massachusetts are holding special fee-waived adoptions for dogs next week.
This Massachusetts animal shelter says it's full, needs help with adoptions
They say they have a ton of dogs in their care, and their partners are dealing with capacity issues. The shelters hope to rehome 100 dogs across the MSPCA shelters in Boston, Methuen, Salem, and Centerville on Cape Cod, as well as Baypath Humane Society, Boston Animal Control, Berkshire Humane Society, Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center, and Worcester Animal Rescue League.
'Right now, we've got a ton of dogs in our care, and we know that our partners are dealing with the same capacity crunch,' explained Jamie Garabedian, project manager in the MSPCA-Angell's Animal Protection Division. 'Valentine's Day often elicits feelings of love and companionship, things we really want our dogs to experience, so it's the perfect time to call for adopters.'
As Valentine's Day brings about feelings of love and companionship, it may be the perfect time to adopt a furry friend. The event begins Monday and will run through next Sunday, February 23rd.
Fees will be waived during their 'Missed Connections' adoption event for all dogs aged one and older, and includes those at the Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Shelter, here in western Massachusetts. For hours and more information, visit their website.
