Free Pet Adoptions Across Michigan
Next Saturday, April 29, 69 shelters across Michigan will be offering free pet adoptions, thanks to the Bissell Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” event. During the last event in October, 1,900 animals found homes, and this time they aim to help 2,000. If you’re interested in adopting, you’ll only need to cover the licensing fees, which are between $7 and $12. For more details and a list of participating shelters, click here.
A Special Adoption Opportunity
For those asking where they can find a dog like Laika, now’s your chance! Roswell, a handsome dog with an even better widow’s peak than Laika, is available at the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center. Trust me, he’s a good boy.
