Pet adoption fee cut in half in Placer County

Placer County Animal Services is offering half off the cost of adoptions for all animals at the animal shelters in Auburn and in Tahoe Vista through Aug. 31.

“We’ve seen a bountiful increase in the number of dogs and cats that have come into our shelters this year,” Mike Winters, Animal Services manager, said in a press release. “The summer months are a great time for families to consider adopting a new pet. A new pet could be a great addition to your family and we’d like to make it easier for families to do so.”

Placer County Animal Services is able to offer the half-off adoption promotion due to charitable contributions and the support of A New Hope Animal Foundation. The half-off fee will be $56 for dogs and $46 for cats.

The Auburn animal shelter is located at 11251 B Ave. and the Tahoe Vista shelter is located at 849 Shelter Road.
