This Valentine's Day, Chattanooga's Humane Educational Society encourages everyone to add a little love in their life by adopting a new forever friend.
The shelter's Lonely Hearts - animals that have been in care for over 90 days - will have their adoption fees waived on February 14th, 2024. Additionally, all other animals will have a reduced adoption fee of only $14. This promotion excludes puppies under 6 months of age.
HES currently has 27 Lonely Hearts animals on-site or in foster care that qualify for a free adoption on Valentine's Day. We hope this event brings some much-needed attention to our shelter's longest residents. Many of these animals have been waiting several months, and some even years for adoption. Arizona, our current longest resident, has been in care for over 1,000 days.
If adoption-hopeful families miss their chance to participate in this Valentine's Day event, they still have a chance to have their adoption fees reduced. During the rest of month, adoption fees for all animals (excluding puppies) will be $29.
