Adopt a BFF for free at CAPS!

Share this: Email | Facebook | X

If you are looking for a BFF (best furry friend), this is the weekend for you. Adoptions of dogs and cats will be free on Friday and Saturday. CAPS will extend their hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

This special is brought to you by Maddies’s Pet Project; for each animal adopted, our shelter will receive $300. It is a win-win situation for everyone. If you have been thinking about getting a pet, now is the time. Normally it costs $80 for dogs and cats.

All CAPS guests have been spayed/neutered, have current shots and are healthy. We have adorable dogs and fabulous cats looking for forever homes with someone to love.

If you do plan on getting a pet, please remember that it is quite an adjustment for the animal to be adopted after it has lived at CAPS.

Dogs who have lived at our shelter have had the freedom to use their pens as a restroom so adjusting to a house may take a few reminders. Scheduling potty time is a good way to get your dog into a routine. Praise your pup every time he does something positive and keep plenty of treats handy.

Establishing a daily routine helps your pup learn expectations and anticipate what is going to happen. Feed your pup about the same time each day. Take him for a walk to get him familiar with the area around his new home. Most of all, please be patient. I hope you find your BFF.

LOOKING FOR A HOME

We have four darling puppies. Policy, however, prohibits adopting out puppies or kittens under the age of six months to a home with children under five years of age. This is to protect both the children and the animal. Call 775-423-7500 for details.

IN NEED OF
