The Nodaway County Humane Society is hosting a ‘Home for the Holidays’ pet adoption event through the end of the year.

Wendy Combs, director of the Nodaway County Humane Society says adoptable pets are usually already fixed. “All of our animals come fixed or with a voucher to be fixed. Half price is a steal for sure.”

The cost for most dogs during the adoption event is $50. Cats are $30 and kittens are $40.

Combs notes that some specialty breeds may not qualify for the discount. “It depends on specialty breeds and puppies, if we have them, most of them are going to be full price. But some of them will be half price, as well.”

Combs says specialty breeds can include smaller dogs and purebreds. She adds that it is on a case-by-case basis, and residents are encouraged to check ahead of time to see which animals are available.

During the adoption event, in most cases, the fee includes the cost of spay, neuter, microchips, vaccinations and more.

All adoptions must have an approved application. Combs encourages people who are traveling to adopt, to submit an application ahead of time.
