Oak Ridge Animal Shelter celebrates 40 years with half-price adoptions

 

The Oak Ridge Animal Shelter is celebrating 40 years at its 395 Belgrade Road location with a whole month of specials and activities.

Through the month of October, the Shelter will feature half-price adoptions. Every available animal will have an adoption fee of $55 instead of $110. The discount price still includes spaying and neutering, microchips, DHPP and Bordatella vaccines (for dogs), FVRCP vaccine (for cats), a rabies vaccine, a dose of Frontline (for fleas and ticks), and a dose of dewormer.

The Oak Ridge Animal Shelter will be participating in several events for their celebration and invite you to attend:

• October 11—at the Little Ponderosa Petting Zoo and Rescue for their third annual Fall Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
