Adopt a large dog (40 lbs. and over) in May 2015 and pay no adoption fee! All dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and so much more!

Please consider adopting a large dog from Furkids. The bigger the dog, the more to love!

The start of summer is one of the slowest times of the year for our dog adoptions. As a no-kill shelter, when we are full we can no longer help dogs in need.

Few adoptions = Little/no cage space = Less lives saved

To encourage adoptions right now, Furkids is waiving adoption fees until May 31st for dogs weighing 40 lbs. or more. These dogs are often overlooked, but they have many wonderful qualities that a young puppy does not. Many of our larger dogs are crate or potty trained already! They are less likely to chew and already walk well on a leash. Browse and apply to adopt at www.furkids.org.

Can’t adopt right now? Consider fostering an animal for the summer or donating even $5. Every little bit goes toward saving a life. You can find information about our foster program and/or to make a donation at www.furkids.org.

Can’t do any of the above? You CAN SHARE this message with 5 friends on social media. One share can equal one dog’s life saved.
