To mark this occasion, CASPCA will be offering reduced adoption fees on April 30th, making it easier for individuals and families to welcome a furry friend into their homes. Additionally, CASPCA encourages the community to get involved in various ways:
Adopt a Shelter Pet: Visit CASPCA on April 30th to find your new best friend and provide a loving forever home to an animal in need.
Share Your Story: Share your heartwarming tales of rescue pets from CASPCA on social media using the hashtag #MyCASPCARescue and #AdoptAShelterPetDayCASPCA. Your stories inspire others to consider adoption and showcase the incredible bonds formed between humans and shelter animals.
Donate: Help support CASPCA’s mission by donating monetarily or through supplies, such as dog food. CASPCA’s pet food pantry serves as a vital resource for community members facing financial hardship, ensuring that pets receive the nutrition they need to thrive. Currently, CASPCA is facing a significant shortage of pet food and your contributions can make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals in need.
“We’re thrilled to commemorate National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day and the proclamation by the City of Charlottesville,” said Libby Jones, Executive Director of the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA. “This day celebrates the incredible love and companionship that shelter pets offer, while also highlighting our ability to give them a second chance at a happy, fulfilling life. We invite everyone to join us in making a difference for animals in need.”
“The city of Charlottesville is delighted to endorse the inaugural Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, a celebration dedicated to showcasing the community’s commitment to adopting and rescuing animals.” said Charlottesville Mayor Juandiego Wade.
