Sponsored by Best Friends Animal Society:

ALL dog adoption fees will be half-price on Sunday, October 27!

October is Pit Bull Awareness Month, and we need our community to find homes for all the adoptable animals in our care!

Sunday, October 27
10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

These events are first come, first serve for our available animals.

CASHLESS PAYMENTS ONLY

- We can only accept cashless payments (for purchasing dog licenses, bloodwork, collars, leashes, cardboard carriers, etc.). All adoption fees are half-priced for this event.

ANIMALS IN FOSTER CARE

- Please note animal locations in their website listings. Most of our adoptable pets are at the Brougher Companion Animal Shelter. However, others are in foster homes and would require a meeting at another. In these incidences, we would still honor the waived adoption fee.

If you plan on attending, please take note of the following:

- Browse adoptable dogs: https://ycspca.org/adopt/available-dogs.html

- Please complete a general dog adoption questionnaire HERE -> https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/YORK/Dog at least THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE of the event to allow our staff to have ample time to review the questionnaire and touch base with any questions.

- Though it is not required, we recommend bringing all human and canine members of your household to ensure the dog is the right fit for your whole family.

- If you bring a dog - they must have a collar and be ON A LEASH. **PLEASE NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES IF POSSIBLE – for the dog meets, slip-lead leashes are preferred. * When you arrive, first stop at the welcome/check-in table before browsing the kennel. Please leave your dog(s) in your vehicle with the A/C running until you can grab them for a meet and greet. You may walk them around the grass areas to the right of our building until they are ready for a meet.

- PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN COLLAR AND LEASH IF YOU PLAN ON ADOPTING A NEW DOG! We have limited available for purchase.

- If you are interested in more than one dog, please have a list of your top 4-5 dogs in mind so our staff can better assist you. You can walk through the kennel to see our available dogs!

- Once you enter the shelter, staff and volunteers will be available to assist you. Most dogs will be able to go home on the event day. However, some may require pick-up on another day. Please be patient with our staff and volunteers.
