ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – As a way to reduce the number of dogs in its shelter, Winnebago County Animal Services is offering reduced-fee dog adoptions for a limited time.
Starting Monday, March 17, certain dogs can be adopted for $50 during the “Lucky Dog, Lucky You” reduced-fee event. All adoptions include a wellness exam, spay or neuter, microchip and vaccines.
“Our dog population has reached critical capacity with almost 100 dogs in the building. We’re hoping that this event not only alleviates our dog population challenges, but also allows these amazing dogs the opportunity to find their forever home,” says Adoption & Volunteer Program Coordinator, Amber Pinnon. “If you’re interested in adopting and would like to make a difference in the life of a pet in need, now is the time!”
Those interested in adopting must be at least 18 years old, show a state-issued photo ID, and have an approved adoption application by WCAS. All cats and dogs in the household must be up to date with their rabies vaccination and county pet license. Adopters should also have little or no complaints on record.
Adoption applications can be submitted on WCAS’ website or by visiting the shelter at 4517 N. Main Street in Rockford. Adopters are encouraged to have their application pre-approved prior to the event.
