NHSPCA Holding 'Black Friday' Adoption Event

The following is from the NHSPCA:

This Black Friday, for the first time ever, the New Hampshire SPCA shelter will be OPEN the day after Thanksgiving! We’re even opening early, at 9am, similar to how retail celebrates Black Friday. But our Black Friday is all about saving more animals’ lives.  We’ll be here all day in hopes that folks will forgo or finish their shopping and come check out the wonderful dogs, cats, kittens, bunnies, birds, small animals, and even horses here waiting for a loving home. 

Black Friday - Save A Life Sale!

• Adoption fees will be slashed!  50% off on adoption fees on all adult cats and select dogs.
• Early Bird Special:  Adopt between 9am and 11am and be entered to win your adoption for FREE!
• In addition, there will be Mystery discounts all day long and every adopter will be entered into a raffle to win a gift basket for their new pet!
• So come in between 9am and 4pm for the best ‘deal’ of the day to give a homeless animal the true gift of the season – a home!

“We have a lot of animals, especially for this time of year,” said Sheila Ryan, Director of Marketing for the New Hampshire SPCA. “We’re hoping that Black Friday can become a going home day for many of our wonderful animals.  They deserve to be in a loving home and family for the holidays, and every day.  This is just our way of bringing attention to all of the animals awaiting homes.”

Some of the dogss that will be waiting for adoption are Bashful, a 1 year old retriever mix, Callie a 1 year old Cocker Spaniel mix, Heather, a 1 year old Lab mix, Eddie, a 1 year old Pomeranian mix, Jitterbug, 1 year old Chihuahua mix. Some of the cats waiting will be Babs, a 13 year old Domestic Medium hair, Cupcake, a 4 year old Domestic Short Hair, Gizmo, a 2 year old Siamese mix, Noelle an 8 year old Domestic Short Hair and Jacob a 1 year old Domestic Medium Hair. This is just a few of the over 250 animals in our care today. (Their pictures are attached.) 

The NHSPCA recommends that adopters download adoption applications from their website (www.nhspca.org) and complete them ahead of time.  

Those that are not able to take home an animal this weekend can help by making a donation to theNHSPCA in Stratham. The shelter needs canned kitten food, canned and dry cat food, kitty litter and towels and blankets for bedding.  Visit our website for our complete wish list.
