Kick off football season with new furry friend

Score a victory for the home team when you adopt a new pet at Young-Williams Animal Center during the Tennessee Tailgate adoption special, which starts Friday, Sept. 4, and runs through Labor Day.

Young-Williams Animal Center is reducing fees for adult pets to increase adoptions for animals who need homes – a promotion timed with the Tennessee Vols kicking off the football season against Bowling Green. During the four-day special, adoption fees for adult dogs and cats (5 months and older) will be $50 and senior pets (7 years and older) will be $25.

“We hope the Vols win, and it would be an even bigger win for the dogs and cats in our shelter to find forever homes this weekend,” said Jeff Ashin, Young-Williams Animal Center CEO.

Every adopted animal will receive the services covered by the regular adoption fees, which include a veterinary physical exam, spay/neuter surgery, some standard vaccinations, microchip with registration and more. The adoption prices will be available at Young-Williams Animal Center at 3201 Division St., off Sutherland Avenue, and the Young-Williams Animal Village at 6400 Kingston Pike on Bearden Hill. Both locations will be open noon to 6 p.m.
