The Tri-County Animal Shelter is pleased to announce the following April monthly promotions and reminders:
Furry Feline Friends for April Fools’ (Saturday, April 1)
It is not an April Fools’ joke! On this special day, all cat and kitten adoption fees will be reduced to $1. Find your new purr-fect furry friend.
National Pet Identification Week (Wednesday, April 19- Tuesday, April 25)
Identification tags and microchips are important if your furry friend wanders or becomes lost. Identification may be your pet’s ticket home. During this week, the shelter will sell pet identification tags for $1 and microchips for $10.
Join the shelter at the 6th annual Maryland DogFest at the Charles County Fairgrounds (8440 Fairground Road, La Plata) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring your dog for a day of games, animal acts, and animal vendors. Come visit the shelter at their booth for adoptable dogs.
Spring Flowers Bring Kitten Showers
As the weather gets warmer and spring begins, more and more kittens arrive at the shelter. During April, the shelter is seeking donations to benefit the influx of kitten. Dry and canned kitten food, kitten milk replacers, kitten nursing bottles, toys, litter, shoe boxes, and newspapers are appreciated.
