The love of your life is waiting for you at the Atlantic County Animal Shelter.

PLEASANTVILLE – The Atlantic County Animal Shelter will celebrate Independence Day with a special no-cost adoption promotion, July 1-8, for dogs and cats available for immediate adoption. The shelter will be closed on July 4.

“Now is the perfect time to give a pet its independence and help it find a caring, forever home,” animal shelter manager Kathy Kelsey said.

This special Independence Day promotion is in addition to a 50% discount on adoption fees for senior pets and cats available for immediate adoption. Veterans who adopt a pet are also entitled to receive a 50% discount at all times.

Regular adoption fees are $110 for dogs and puppies and $85 for cats and kittens and include mandatory sterilization, age appropriate vaccinations, diagnostic testing, a microchip and free veterinary consultation. Adopted canines also receive two free obedience classes.

This is a great time to look at the wonderful animals available at the Atlantic County Animal Shelter. The shelter is open daily, 1-4 p.m. at 240 Old Turnpike Road in Pleasantville. Call 609-485-2345 for more information or visit atlanticcountynj.gov.
