Director of the shelter, Shannon Posada, emphasizes this unique chance to give a pet as a Valentine’s Day gift, capturing the spirit of love in the most adorable way possible.
A Helping Hand for Overcrowded Shelters
There’s an urgent need for this adoption event as the shelter is currently at capacity, especially with dogs. With the numbers of animals in need soaring, this event aims not just to help those adorable furballs find loving homes but also to create space for other animals waiting for their turn to be rescued. At the moment, there are many cats, dogs, kittens, and entire litters on a waiting list, hoping to find refuge in this caring community. With your help, you can make a difference!

Responsible Adoptions Matter
While finding a new furry friend is the ultimate love story, it’s important to ensure that these pets go to responsible homes. The shelter requires vet references for all puppies and kittens to confirm that they will receive the care they deserve. This is merely a step to ensure that every adoption results in a happy, lifelong match between pets and their new owners. So, if you’re ready to adopt a loving companion, now is the perfect time!

This Valentine’s Day, why not consider expanding your family with a four-legged friend? Those who adopt during the event are not just finding a pet; they are gaining a loving companion who will bring endless joy, comfort, and happiness into their lives. Remember, adopting is a powerful act of love that can make a huge difference for a pet in need.
So, gather your friends and family, and head on down to the Elizabethton/Carter County Animal Shelter this February 14 and 15. Be a part of this lovely initiative and help create beautiful love stories between humans and their new furry best friends!
