IACC offering pet adoption discount

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — If your family is looking to add some unconditional love, now may be the time to act.

The Indianapolis Animal Care and Control is offering an adoption special for the pets who are there.

Through September 25, you can adopt a dog or cat for $30. That price includes spaying and neutering, a microchip, vaccinations and other tests.

“We’re very full at the shelter,” IACC Community Outreach Coordinator Dawn Contos explained. “We have over 600 animals in the facility right now, most of them dogs and cats, and there are only so many that can fit in here. So we send as many out as we can with rescue, but adoptions make up the big difference in helping us get the animals out.”

On Saturday, 21 dogs and 9 cats were adopted.

The Labor of Love adoption special continues when Indianapolis Animal Care and Control reopens Tuesday at 10 a.m.
