The Tri-County Animal Shelter is pleased to announce the following August monthly promotions and reminders:
Bark in the Park (Monday, Aug. 15 and Monday, Aug. 29)
Join the shelter at the Bark in the Park event at 7 p.m. at the Regency Furniture Stadium (11765 St. Linus Drive, Waldorf). Support your local baseball team, and visit the Tri-County Animal Shelter table to meet adoptable pets and ask any animal-related questions.
National Black Cat Appreciation Day (Wednesday, Aug. 17)
To celebrate this special day, all adoption fees for black cats will be waived. Did you know that black cats are often overlooked in shelters, both by the public and rescue organizations, and tend to be the cats that stay the longest? Consider adopting a fantastic feline at the shelter!
The Tri-County Animal Shelter is located at 6707 Animal Shelter Road in Hughesville. Shelter staff can be reached at 301-932-1713 or 800-903-1992. Adoption hours are Monday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
