Young-Williams Animal Center is reducing adoption fees this weekend, Jan. 24-26, in honor of the national “Change a Pet’s Life Day.”
“Adopting a pet from our shelter changes its life forever,” said Jeff Ashin, Young-Williams Animal Center CEO. “In fact, after welcoming a new pet into your home, you’ll be wondering who changed whose life because of the unconditional love you’ll share.”
From Friday, Jan. 24, to Sunday, Jan. 26, Young-Williams will offer special pricing of $50 for kittens and puppies, $25 for adult cats and dogs and $10 for senior pets.
The special prices will be available at Young-Williams Animal Center at 3201 Division St., off Sutherland Drive, and the Young-Williams Animal Village at 6400 Kingston Pike on Bearden Hill. The adoption centers are open seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m.
In addition to the adoption special, Young-Williams is also encouraging the community to be part of the change in animal welfare by volunteering at and donating to the center.
“The smallest gifts can make the biggest difference,” Ashin said. “Whether it’s donating your spare change or volunteering an afternoon of time, our animals feel the love and the difference it makes in their lives.”
January 24th is the official date for “Change a Pet’s Life Day,” and shelters and rescue organizations across the country encourage adoption.
