Austin Animal Center to waive pet adoption fees this month
Tuesday, October 3, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
This October, Austin Animal Center and Adopt a Pet are teaming up to waive all pet adoption fees. The month will kick off with an event from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Austin Animal Center designed to give would-be pet owners a chance to meet animals up for adoption and get free swag. Animals will be available for adoption on a first-come, first-served basis. For those not able to attend the Oct. 7 event, the shelter is also open for adoption walk-ins. “Guiding adopters from finding their best match to becoming pet parents is what Adopt a Pet is all about – so hosting an in-person event with Austin Animal Center is the perfect way to bring our mission to life,” said Jeannine Taaffe, CEO of Adopt a Pet. “We’re very excited to help these lovable animals and ensure their pet parents feel confident and ready to welcome them to their forever homes.”
