National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day with Humane Pennsylvania

Humane Pennsylvania is celebrating National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day, which officially takes place on Saturday, April 30^th with a three-day, fee-waived adoption event. From Friday, April 29^th to Sunday, May 1^st, Humane Pennsylvania is giving community members the opportunity to adopt a shelter dog, cat, or critter, and ALL adoption fees will be waived at the Berks and Lancaster County adoption centers thanks to our generous sponsors, Rob and Margy, in memory of Barbara V. Andrews. 

Adopters wishing to provide a loving home for shelter animals are encouraged to visit the shelter campuses or HumanePA.org. All potential adopters are required to go through Humane Pennsylvania’s diligent adoption screening process (approval is not guaranteed).
