ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – Winnebago County Animal Services (WCAS) offers reduced adoption fees for their “New Year, New Best Friend” event.
The event takes place from Jan. 16-18 at 4517 N. Main St., offering reduced-fee adoptions for dogs who have been at their facility since before 2025. These dogs can be adopted for $25 during the event.
“We have 50 dogs who have been looking for a family to call their own since last year,” says Adoption & Volunteer Program Coordinator, Amber Pinnon. “Some of these dogs have even been here since September and October. We’re really hoping that this event allows these dogs the opportunity to find their forever home.”
All adoptions include a wellness exam, spay or neuter, microchip, vaccinations, flea and tick preventative and more.
In order to adopt, an application must be approved by WCAS, which can be done prior to the event on their website or in person at the shelter.
Adopters must also be 18-years-old or older, show a state-issued photo ID, have little or no animal complaints on record and all cats and dogs in the household must have a current rabies vaccination and county pet license.
