PAWS usually receives its largest number of puppies in the late summer and the early fall, but this year the Lynnwood animal shelter has more “Santa Paws” than usual.
“We have dozens of puppies in care right now, many of them ready for adoption in the next couple of weeks,” says PAWS Foster Care Coordinator Rebecca Oertel. “I can’t remember ever having this many for the holiday season.”
During the month of December, the shelter is offering a “Home for the Holidays” promotion with discounted adoption fees for just about every animal.
“The holidays are a great time to bring home the gift of love. You can celebrate the season while saving the life of a dog or cat,” says Kay Joubert, PAWS Director of Companion Animal Services. “And with money still tight this year, the lower adoption fees make it even easier.”
While most of the puppies are still in foster care, if you have your heart set on one of these cuddly creatures, you can get a head start by coming by PAWS this week.
For more information, go to paws.org, or stop by the PAWS Animal Shelter at 15305 44th Ave. W. in Lynnwood. They’re open Tuesday through Friday from noon until 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
