Adopt ASAP event features reduced adoption fees at Humane SocietyFree

The Humane Society for Southwest Washington will join four animal shelters in Portland for Adopt ASAP, a weekend adoption event featuring adoption fees at 75 percent or more off.

Bonnie L. Hayes Small Animal Center in Hillsboro, Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood, Multnomah County Animal Services in Troutdale and the Oregon Humane Society in Portland are the Oregon shelters participating.

The five shelters make up the Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland, a coalition dedicated to reducing euthanasia and increasing live outcomes for shelter animals.

The Humane Society for Southwest Washington, 1100 N.E. 192nd Ave. in Vancouver, is open noon to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. The event runs Friday through Sunday.

Shelters are seeing longer stays for large dogs and an influx of kittens and cats due to spay/neuter surgery backlogs from the pandemic, according to a press release.
