Can I afford the cost of food, pet supplies, veterinary bills and training?
Adopting a dog from the Seattle Animal Shelter saves that animal’s life and reduces unnecessary euthanasia of healthy, adoptable dogs. It is also a tremendous value. A typical dog adoption package costs between $145 and $180, and includes: • Initial vaccinations • Deworming • Free health exam at a local veterinarian’s office • Spaying or neutering • Microchip • Two-year Seattle pet license (if applicable) Sponsored by the ASPCA and The American Humane Association, “Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month” is a national campaign to educate citizens about the benefits of adopting a pet from the more than 8,000 animal shelters across the country. To talk with an adoption counselor, or to preview dogs or cats available for adoption, visit the Animal Shelter at 2061 – 15th Ave. W., approximately one mile south of the Ballard Bridge. The shelter is open every day from noon to 6 p.m. for adoptions, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for licensing. You may also view adoptable dogs at www.seattleanimalshelter.org For more
