To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, we’re hosting an adoption special all week long!! And over the weekend!! Starting February 9th, you can come in, fall in love with a new furry friend, and then choose a candy heart. The color of candy heart you choose will determine the adoption fee you pay to bring your new furry friend home (ranging from $0-$25)!
This special will go through February 15th, but don’t be afraid to come in right away and give love a chance at HSSW. We also have the lobby decorated for some really cute photo ops post-adoption! Each day, we will be open our regular adoption center hours (M, Tu, Th, F 12pm-5pm, Sa & Su 12pm-5pm, and closed on Wednesdays).
Additional fees beyond the adoption fee: City of Janesville licensing (if applicable), cat carrier (if not provided), leash and collar (if not provided). During this adoption event, adopters are still required to complete a standard adoption application as if it were a normal day. This adoption special pricing excludes Adoption Guaranteed pets. Special adoption prices do not apply to off-site adoption centers
