The Animal Rescue League of Berks County will be hosting free adoptions June 8 and continuing June 10-14.<\/p>\n
During the event, all pets over 6 months of age will be free to adopt at the shelter, 58 Kennel Road, Cumru Township.<\/p>\n
The special adoption sponsorship is made possible by Ruby and Remmy, two beloved dogs whose family has chosen to cover adoption fees for all qualifying animals during the event.<\/p>\n
Potential adopters should be prepared to complete an adoption profile and meet with a counselor to ensure that the pet they select is a good match for their home, family and lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Adopters are encouraged to bring family members to meet their new pet at the time of adoption.<\/p>\n
Dog adopters should bring their resident 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 Pennsylvania law. They should also bring a dog collar and leash, or they can purchase one from the shelter.<\/p>\n
Cat adopters should bring a cat carrier, or they can purchase one for $5 from the shelter.<\/p>\n
The shelter is open on Monday, and Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No appointments are necessary. A virtual line is set up at berksarl.org\/hello<\/a> where guests can check in when they arrive at the shelter. Guests will be able to check their place in line and be notified when it\u2019s their turn to work with an adoption counselor. Extended wait times during sponsored adoption events are expected.<\/p>\n
