Free Adoptions At Providence Animal Center This Weekend

MEDIA, PA — The Providence Animal Center in Media is offering you the chance to save an animal's life for free this weekend.

On Saturday, July 27, and Sunday, July 28, the will be offering free adoptions.

The goal is to find homes for 75 homeless dogs and cats in two days.

The volume of animals at the Media shelter is at a recent all-time high due to an inundation of pets rescued from cruelty and natural disasters like Tropical Storm Barry.

Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

If you plan on visiting Providence Animal Center’s weekend adoption event, follow these helpful tips:

• Bring a driver’s license or a state-issued ID with current address.
• The owner of the home must consent to the adoption of the animal.
• If you rent, bring a copy of your lease stating that you are allowed to have pets. If the lease doesn’t state anything regarding owning pet, have a letter from your landlord.
• If you own your home, bring a copy of your deed, mortgage payment book or tax bill.
• If you are planning to adopt a dog and presently have a dog(s), all dogs must meet at the Center under the supervision of a PAC associate.
• If you have veterinary records for current or previous pets, please bring them if possible.

Those who aren't ready to make the commitment to adopt, PAC is also offering a foster-to-adopt program, which means you can bring a pet home for a temporary basis before making the decision to adopt.
