County Waives Dog Adoption Fees for ‘Barktober’
Will County Animal Protection Services (WCAPS) is waiving all adoption fees for dogs in the month of October as part of their “Barktober” promotion event, in recognition of National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.
During the promotion, all available dogs can be adopted without adoption fees. Adoption fees for all dogs under 50 pounds are being covered by a generous donation from Will County State’s Attorney James W. Glasgow.
Dogs available for adoption can be viewed on the WCAPS Petfinder website – IL1035.petfinder.com. Appointments can be scheduled to visit available pets by calling 815-462-5633 or emailing [email protected]. Adoption hours are from noon to 4 p.m. weekdays at the WCAPS office, located at 22452 Cherry Hill Road, Joliet.
National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month is sponsored by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and was created to raise awareness of the approximately 3.3 million dogs that enter shelters every year.
