The Weld County Humane Society is currently at capacity, with animals still pouring in at an alarming rate, according to shelter staff.

Because of the large influx of animals, the Humane Society is hosting an adoption special – its second this summer.

The special will give adopting families a chance to receive anywhere from 10 to 60 percent off their adoption by spinning the adoption special wheel behind the counter. There is also a chance for a free adoption.

To be eligible for the adoption special, the animal must be one year or older.

The special is running now through September 3.

Every adoptable animal comes spayed or neutered, up to date on all of the needed vaccinations for their age and is micro-chipped. Each adopted animal will also receive 30 days of health insurance and a free post-adoption medical examination through participating vets or at the facility itself.

Andrea Stout, executive director at the Humane Society, encourages people who are considering adoption to stop in and take a look. There could be a new best friend for everyone who walks through the door.

The staff is well acquainted with the animals – especially the dogs.

“We also have a lot of really awesome cats,” Stout said.

During this time of year especially, there are more cats being brought in to the shelter than usual.

“We’re to a point where dogs, cats and kittens are coming through the door on a regular basis,” Stout said.

“These animals really need adopting.” Stout said.
