$5 Dog, Cat, Bunny, Guinea Pig Adoptions Saturday Pennsylvania SPCA

PHILADELPHIA — The Pennsylvania SPCA is offering mega discounted adoption fees this weekend.

On Saturday, adoption fees for dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs are just $5 at the PSPCA’s Philadelphia headquarters for The Really Big Adoption Event.

The discount aims to help clear the group's shelter and find good forever homes for adoptable animals.

Those looking to give an animal in need a forever home can stop by the headquarters from noon to 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

"The PSPCA’s Philadelphia headquarters is completely full of amazing adoptable dogs and cats, all of whom are hoping to share their love with a forever family," the group said. "No matter what kind of animal a family or individual is looking for the PSPCA can help match them with their new best friend."

Adoptions at the PSPCA, shelters in the area, and around the country have been very slow, according to the group.

Dogs and cats that would normally be adopted quickly are having longer lengths of stay, but are so deserving of families.

At the same time, shelters are seeing an uptick in owner surrender requests.

On this fee-reduced adoption day, all normal adoption processes and policies will be followed. More information on those processes and policies is available online here.

The Pennsylvania SPCA headquarters is located at 350 Erie Ave. in Philadelphia.
