Saving Grace Humane Society will hold its third and final fee-waived adoption events this weekend as part of ASPCA’s Rescue Effect campaign. The campaign raises awareness about the importance of pet adoption and fostering, while helping place more animals into loving homes.

A release from Saving Grace said the three-month campaign will close with the non-profit hosting the fee-waived adoption event at its Roseburg shelter on Friday and Saturday, October 16th and 17th. During this event, adoption fees, which typically range from $25 to $225 depending on the animal, will be waived for approved adopters on all dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens.

Saving Grace Humane Society Development Director Melissa Owens said, “At Saving Grace, we see every day how life-changing adoption can be for both animals and the people who welcome them home.” Owens said, “Thanks to the ASPCA’s support, we’re able to remove one more barrier to adoption during these fee-waived events. We encourage anyone who has been thinking about adding a pet to their family to come meet their new best friend.”

The release said launched in August, and lasting through October, The Rescue Effect is the ASPCA’s national campaign dedicated to helping organizations increase adoptions and engage the public. This year, the ASPCA is once again providing $2 million in grants to cover adoption fees and support operations at participating shelters and rescue groups across the country with some holding fee-waived adoption events.
