(WWJ) Could now be just the right time to add a furry new friend to the family?
The Detroit Health Department Animal Care is holding a ‘Dog Days of Summer’ weekend adoption event, offering FREE adoptions this Saturday and Sunday.
The event is being held to find forever homes for the many dogs who are in need of loving new families.
All weekend during this special event:
- There are no adoption fees.
- All dogs are fully vaccinated, sterilized and microchipped.
- They come with a goody bag, a starter supply of food, treats and a toy.
All dogs have been handled by staff to ensure they are home-ready, the department says. Staff will be on-site all weekend to provide ‘adoptive parents’ with instruction about decompression for the animals and provide tips on ensuring the match is a success with a slow introduction to the dog’s new home and two-legged family.
There are many good dogs looking for the right home.
For example, meet Dave (photo above). Everyone’s best friend, he's a 4-year-old with a tail that does not stop wagging. Dave loves chew toys and getting out and around, walks well on a leash. He wants to cuddle. A home with older kids would be perfect for Dave. He’s an ‘only child’ at heart, and would love to be in a home with no small pets.
‘Dog Days of Summer’ Adoption Events take place at Detroit Animal Care & Control, 7401 Chrysler Drive, in Detroit.
Hours are as follows:
Saturday, July 31, 10:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Sunday, August 1, 10:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
