This November, residents of Calgary have a special opportunity to adopt pets at reduced prices. The City of Calgary’s Animal Services Centre is offering lower fees for both cats and dogs throughout the entire month to facilitate more adoptions before winter.
"Every adoption gives an animal a second chance and opens space in our shelter for others who need help," says Kathleen Dickson, Coordinator of Animal Care and Clinic Services. "We hope this price reduction encourages more Calgarians to come meet the incredible pets waiting for homes."
All animals adopted from the centre are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and given a health check. Each adoption also includes a one-year City of Calgary pet license, ensuring pets arrive healthy, identifiable, and ready for their new homes.
As colder weather approaches, Animal Services reminds pet owners to keep their animals warm and safe. Kathleen Dickson advises,
"If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them. Bring pets indoors, ensure they have warm bedding, and limit outdoor time when temperatures drop."
Adoptions occur at the Animal Services Centre located at 2201 Portland Street S.E., open seven days a week.
