Manatee County Animal Services Offers 'Long Overdue' Special

MANATEE COUNTY – Throughout September Manatee County Animal Services will offer adoption specials on all dogs and cats that have been at the shelter 30 days or longer.   

Dogs that have been at the shelter a month or more can be adopted for $30, a $50 savings off the regular adoption fee of $80. Cats can be adopted for $10, normally priced at $60.

"We have a large selection of dogs and cats,“ said Animal Services Chief Kris Weiskopf. ”Help us help the animals by adopting today. "

This adoption special is another step in the county’s plan to become a no-kill community. 

The special is available at both Animal Services locations: in Palmetto, 305 25th St. W. (open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and in Bradenton, 1002 B., Manatee Ave. W., (open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Preview available animals by visiting www.mymanatee.org/pets.
