Crowded Sugar Land Animal Shelter Prompts Special Adoption Fees

SUGAR LAND, TX — The Sugar Land Animal Shelter is offering a special adoption rate of $55 for dogs and $40 for cats through Aug. 6.

Any pets who have been at the shelter for more than 30 days are only $20.

The normal fee of $110 for dogs and $95 for cats is being slashed to find forever homes for the dogs and cats currently living at the crowded shelter. (Want to get daily updates about traffic news and other events going on in your area? Sign up for the free Houston Patchmorning newsletter.

The fees include vaccinations, spaying/neutering and a microchip with a lifetime registration.

Choosing an animal is a big decision, so the shelter offers a "sleepover" program.

Those interested in adopting a pet will have a chance to see if their choice is a good fit before making the commitment. If it's a perfect match, just return to Sugar Land Animal Services to finalize the adoption.
