normal adoption rates are very low consid-
ering the services an adopter receives with
each adoption,“ said Ashley Woolnough,
Animal Services Manager. “Each adop-
tion comes with a round of basic vaccines,
flea and tick prevention, rabies vaccine, a
microchip and spay/neuter. Those services
run much more than our adoption fee if you
were to get those services elsewhere. Our
low adoption rates are: $100 female dogs,
$90 male dogs and only $50 for cats.”
We still have a way to go concerning
pet responsibility, but more and more cities
and towns are adopting different ways to
save our pets’ lives. New York City recently
opened Pals Place, something Senior
Animal Care Specialist Kenzie Montgomery
is especially passionate about.
“I was sent a link that announced the
opening of Pals Place, a seven-story shel-
ter designed and outfitted for survivor-pet
co-living,” Montgomery said. “This supports
a cause very near to my heart and I would
like nothing more than to be able to bring
this type of support to those in need. Offer-
ing people a safe haven where they can
bring their loving pets is a lifesaver.”
