Lawrence Humane Society waiving adoption fee Saturday
The Lawrence Humane Society is waiving adoption fees for cats and dogs Saturday.
Staff at the Humane Society decided to waive fees from noon to 5:30 p.m. Saturday in order to clear out the shelter to prepare for its participation in the ASPCA Rachel Ray $100k challenge, a pet-adoption contest that ends Aug. 31. Fifty humane societies nationwide are competing, and the Lawrence shelter has the goal to adopt out 1,500 animals this summer.
More than 100 cats and dogs will be available Saturday at the humane society, 1805 E. 19th St. All animals will be spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
