The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia (HSNEGA) will be offering special adoption fees for all adult, large dogs and adult cats and kittens adopted at the shelter from Saturday, July 17—Sunday, August 29, 2010. Typically $100 per animal, the adoption fee for adult dogs will be $50 per dog, and adult cats and kittens will be available to adopt at $100 for two animals (two cats, two kittens or one cat/one kitten).

“During the summer months, we have an influx of kittens, but like many shelters, we’ve also experienced a drop in adoptions due, in part, to the economy,” says Rick Aiken, HSNEGA President.

Aiken also says that adult animals, particularly adult dogs, are often more challenging to place in new homes, so he hopes offering a special adoption fee for adult dogs and cats—as well as kittens—will help find more animals new homes.

All adoptable animals at HSNEGA are current on their vaccinations, fecal tested/dewormed, heartworm tested, are up-to-date on heartworm and flea/tick preventative, health-checked, and, most importantly, spayed or neutered.

The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia is open for adoptions Mon.-Sat. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. Check out the adoption section of the Website to see all the animals available for adoption, or for more information, please contact HSNEGA at 770-532-6617.
