DETROIT (WWJ) -- Love is in the air all this week at Detroit Animal Care.
Detroit Animal Care is inviting Detroiters to stop by Monday as they kick off their week of free pet adoptions for those who want to find their four-legged “Love Match.”
In honor of St. Valentine’s Day, anyone who adopts or fosters an animal in the coming week will receive treats for both humans and animals, a photo with their new pet in front of a themed backdrop and a special certificate of appreciation.
“We want to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day and promote adoptions so people can find their new best friend and our animals can find their forever homes,” said Mark Kumpf, director of Detroit Animal Care. “Love is in the air, so today is the day to find your perfect match.”
Just some of the animals to choose from include Pretzel, a 7-month-old Shepherd mix who is "extremely motivated" and loves treats. Another potential match is Keya, a 2-year-old brown-and-black mutt who loves hugs and toys.
“Love Match” adoptions will continue through Sunday, Feb. 20. All animals are fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and neutered. Adoption and licensing fees will also be waived all week.
Detroiters are always welcome to visit Detroit Animal Care, which is open to the public for adoptions daily from 10:30 to 3:30 and located at 7401 Chrysler Dr.
Listings will be updated hourly throughout the week on the Detroit Health Department’s Instagram and Facebook page.
