The Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare will continue to offer free adoptions for all cats and dogs one year or older from May 17-31. Puppies will be available for $50 and kittens will be available for $25. An $11 licensing fee will be applied to all adoptions for Escambia County residents.
"We recently partnered with Bissell Pet Foundation to offer free adoptions, but we want to give our community second chance to participate in the adoption special for the rest of the month," said John Robinson, Director for the Department of Animal Welfare. "We have over 100 dogs and nearly two dozen cats ready to go home with you today. Adopting is a great way to give a pet a new home while also making space at the Animal Welfare and Adoption Center for other animals in need."
