'Let's get these guys out': Over 200 dogs, cats and more looking for homes at large-scale adoption event

The Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland is gearing up for a major pet adoption event, showcasing over 200 dogs, cats, and various other animals looking for loving homes. Scheduled for the weekend of October 26 to 28, the event is set to dramatically reduce adoption fees by 75%, making it more accessible for families to adopt pets. This initiative is part of a broader effort to combat pet overpopulation and promote the benefits of animal adoption within the community. The collaboration includes multiple shelters from the Portland metro area, underscoring the collective commitment to animal welfare. By reducing costs, the event aims to not only find homes for these animals but also to educate the public about responsible pet ownership and the joys of adopting a pet.

With many animals awaiting homes, this event serves as an urgent call to action for potential pet owners. The focus on community engagement emphasizes the importance of giving these animals a second chance at life. Participants are encouraged to attend and consider adopting a new furry companion, helping to alleviate the burden on local shelters.
