Loudoun County Animal Services is hosting a “Clear the Shelters” event on Saturday, Sept. 18. All adoption fees will be waived.
The free pet adoption event will be held at the animal shelter from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. The shelter, which moved to a new location over the summer, is located at 42225 Adoption Drive in Leesburg.
Dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets are available for adoption at the shelter. All dogs, cats, and rabbits are spayed and neutered before going home with their new owner. Those animals are also microchipped.
Dogs and cats receive age-appropriate vaccinations before the adoption, the shelter said. Anyone interested in adopting a pet can view available animals online at the Loudoun County Animal Services website.
The Loudoun County Animal Shelter will host a fee-waived adoption event to get homes for as many animals as possible before the holidays.
The adoption event will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 18. The day-long event will take place at Loudoun County Animal Services’s new shelter at 42225 Adoption Drive in Leesburg.
Loudoun County Animal Services announced that they would also take in dogs and cats from under-resourced shelters around the area before the event to help as many animals in need find a home for Christmas.
