\u201cNational Adopt a Shelter Pet Day is a wonderful opportunity to visit our shelter and find a pet to bring home. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing families connecting with our pets and making the adoption process even more accessible with half-price fees,\u201d said Jacksonville Humane Society CEO Lawrence Nicolas. \u201cWe are always thankful to everyone who adopts at our shelter and does their part to help JHS animals that come in every year.\u201d <\/p>\n
You can see a list of pets available for adoption on the Jacksonville Humane Society website<\/a>. JHS says all pets are altered, microchipped, and vaccinated before adoption. Additional fees, such as a leash and collar, a cat carrier, and the city rabies licensing fee, may apply. <\/p>\n \u25b6 Listen to Jacksonville\u2019s Morning News Interviews<\/a><\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to download our free news, weather and traffic app. And click here<\/a> to subscribe to our daily 3 Big Things newsletter.<\/p>\n \u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla \u2014 If you\u2019re looking to add a furry member to your family, the Jacksonville Humane Society…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158018,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[796,794,28,116,118,109087,117,39692,109088,795,349,109089],"class_list":["post-248845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-796","tag-duval","tag-florida","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-humane-scoeity","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-jhs","tag-national-adopt-a-shelter-pet-day","tag-ne-florida","tag-northeast-florida","tag-pet-adoptions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
