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.,
  • October 18—at Pet Supplies Plus with adoptable animals from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.,
  • October 25—at Tractor Supply with the Adopt-A-Dog event from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and
  • November 1—at Animal Costume Party at the Shelter from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Bring your vaccinated pets to the Shelter, and photos of your pets will be posted to their Facebook page.

The City of Oak Ridge Animal Shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
