The Lawrence Humane Society plans to waive adoption fees this weekend.

The waiver is part of Clear the Shelters Day​, a nationwide initiative in which animal shelters across the country try to find homes for every adoptable pet in their care, according to a news release from the Humane Society.

The Humane Society currently has more than 150 pets and will waive adoption fees from ​10 a.m. to 6 p.m. this Saturday, the release said. The waiver includes fees for spaying/neutering, a microchip with lifetime registration, up-to-date vaccines, a starter bag of Hill’s Science Diet pet food, precertification in Companion Protect Pet Health Insurance, a collar and leash for dogs, and a carrier for cats.

The Lawrence Humane Society is located at 1805 E. 19th St.
