Fall In Love With Your New Best Friend On Valentine's Day

You’ve already fallen in love with and married your best friend. Now you could fall in love with and take home man’s best friend. The Gloucester County Animal Shelter’s “My Furry Valentine” adoption event is set for Feb. 14.

On from noon to 4 p.m. on Feb. 14, dogs and cats five years old and younger will have their adoption fees reduced to $35 while dogs and cats six years and older will have their adoption fees waived.

“Even our animals are looking for their special someone on Valentine’s Day,” Gloucester County Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said. “We have plenty of great animals looking for their forever homes, and we’re hoping this event helps connect some residents with animals that just need a little extra love this Valentine’s Day.”

“This one-day adoption event features reduced-price and waived fees for dogs and cats,” Freeholder Deputy Director Frank J. DiMarco, who oversees the Gloucester County Animal Shelter, said. “We’re hoping that this reduced cost event can help our animals find great homes and help residents who were on the fence about getting a furry companion use this opportunity to adopt.”

Residents must have their adoption applications approved by Feb. 14 to participate. Applications can be found at http://www.co.gloucester.nj.us/depts/a/shelter/peradoptapp.asp and can be completed online or mailed to the Gloucester County Animal Shelter, located at 1200 North Delsea Drive in Clayton.

“On a day made to celebrate loved ones and promote love, we encourage residents to extend that love to the animals in our shelter who have plenty of love to give,” DiMarco said.
