Experience Joy by Adopting a Dog



Peoria - October is Adopt-a-Dog Month and Peoria County's Animal Protection Services (PCAPS) is encouraging animal lovers who are seeking a canine companion to visit the animal shelter this fall. PCAPS has lowered its adoption fees for dogs that are already spayed or neutered to just $25.00. And cat lovers can now adopt a spayed or neutered cat at the shelter for $10.00. The adoption fee includes a microchip, bag of pet food, and adoption packet.



PCAPS has dogs of every type, size, age, and personality waiting for loving homes. "Whether you want an exercise buddy, a best friend for your child, a partner in agility competitions, a constant companion for an aging parent, or simply a fuzzy face to greet you after a hard day at work, an adopted dog can be all of these - and more," explains Lauren Malmberg, Director of Animal Protection Services. "Adopt-a-Dog Month is the perfect time for people to adopt a shelter dog and experience the joy of finding a loving companion."



Visit PCAPS this October to discover what a shelter dog can bring to your life. The public is invited to visit the shelter at 2600 NE Perry Street in Peoria between noon - 5:00 p.m., Monday - Saturday. For more information, call the shelter at (309) 672-2440 or visit www.peoriacounty.org/pcaps to view animals waiting for new homes.
