The Wood County Commissioners Craig LaHote, Ted Bowlus and Doris Herringshaw have announced a one-day adoption event to be held at the Wood County Dog Shelter on Sunday, April 30, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
To encourage adoptions, the dog adoption fee of $75 will be waived for the one-day event. Adopters will still be required to purchase a 2023 Wood County Dog License for $14 at the time of adoption. Adopters will also leave the shelter with a 2023 Dog Park membership and a goodie bag for their new family member.
Drawings for dog-friendly gift baskets will be held each hour.
This event is in recognition of National Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet Day, celebrated on April 30, to help raise awareness for the thousands of animals waiting for their forever homes in shelters across the nation.
