Dog Adoption Fees Waived Wednesday At Pennsylvania SPCA

PHILADELPHIA — In honor of the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl berth, the Pennsylvania SPCA is waiving all dog adoption fees Wednesday.

The PSPCA Wednesday is hosting an "underdog edition" of its flash adoption event.

In an effort to celebrate the Eagles Super Bowl ride, and to help find homes for the shelter’s full dog population, the Pennsylvania SPCA is hosting the event from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday.

All dog adoption fees will be waived.

The PSPCA’s Philadelphia headquarters is completely full of amazing adoptable dogs, all of whom are hoping to share their love with a forever family in time for the Super Bowl in two weeks.

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.

Dogs that would normally be adopted quickly are having longer lengths of stay, but are deserving of families. At the same time, shelters are seeing an uptick in owner surrender requests.

With this adoption event, the PSPCA is hoping to find homes for many animals, and to open up space to help those that will take their place.

On this fee-reduced adoption day, all normal adoption processes and policies will be followed.

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