All pets over the age of 6 months will be free to adopt at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County on March 28, courtesy of Mail Shark of Muhlenberg Township.
Adopters are encouraged to bring family members to meet their new pet at the time of adoption.
Dog adopters should bring their own dogs to ensure a good match and be prepared to pay $11.30 for a dog license, which is required at the time of adoption under state law. They should also bring a dog collar and leash, or they can purchase one from the rescue league.
Cat adopters should bring a cat carrier, or they can purchase one from the league for $5.
The shelter at 58 Kennel Road in Cumru Township will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No appointments are needed. A virtual line is set up at berksarl.org/hello where guests can check in when they arrive at the shelter.
Guests will be able to check their place in line and will be notified when it’s their turn to work with an adoption counselor. Expect extended wait times during sponsored adoption events.
Pets available for adoption can been seen at berksarl.org/pets/
