Humane Society for Hamilton County in crisis to have Black Friday ‘priceless’ adoption special

FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — On Friday, the Humane Society for Hamilton County will host a “priceless” adoption event for Black Friday.

According to a news release, the event from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday allows adopters to donate as little as $1 to take home a new family member.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County is in crisis as it is receiving an unprecedented amount of animals that come to the shelter in a variety of ways.

On Black Friday, Humane Society for Hamilton County is asking you to “fill your heart, not your cart” to ensure the animals spend the holiday at home and not homeless.

“Each day, we are counting kennels to see where we can place dogs and cats coming into our shelter,” said Rebecca Stevens, president and chief executive officer of Humane Society for Hamilton County. “We have to keep pets moving out the front door so we have room for the ones coming in the back door. Without adoptions, we can’t help other animals outside Hamilton County.”

Humane Society for Hamilton County requires canine adopters to bring all family members as well as any dogs in the home to meet with a potential shelter dog. Cat adopters must bring all human family members. Those renting properties are recommended to bring the landlord’s pet policy. All adopters are required to present a government issued ID.
