August is National Dog Month, with the monthlong celebration culminating in a special commemorative 24 hours, National Dog Day.
The event is being held on-site at the shelter on Saturday, Aug. 26 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., giving prospective adopters the opportunity to meet animals on a weekend when the shelter is usually closed. Potential adopters are also welcome to bring their pets to ensure a proper fit, according to Wright.
All of the dogs up for adoption come spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines, according to Wright. The dogs also come with a collar, harness or leash. "We have a range of small to large, young and old — we have an 8-week-old puppy all the way up to an 8-year-old Cane Corso mix," she says. "We have a big range of dogs right now that we would love to find homes for."
If the animals are still at the shelter after the mandatory five business day hold, they legally belong to the shelter, according to Jami Johanson, development coordinator at Salt Lake County Animal Services. At that point, the animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped by the shelter's in-house veterinarian, and placed for adoption.and finalize adoptions from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
