This weekend, the Nova Scotia SPCA is encouraging pet adoption by offering discounts on adult pets, thanks to sponsorship from Hill’s Pet Nutrition. On Saturday and Sunday, potential pet owners can benefit from up to $200 off adoption fees for both dogs and cats. Sarah Lyon, a communications officer with the SPCA, highlights the significance of this event, aligning it with National Best Friends Day on Monday, promoting the idea of finding a 'best furry friend.' Adopting an adult pet can be a great choice for those who prefer a companion that is already house trained and less active, making them suitable for families or individuals looking for a mellow pet. Typically, the adoption fee for dogs is around $400 and for cats, it is about $300. Lyon advises prospective adopters to research and consider their options before making a decision. This initiative not only aims to find homes for adult pets but also to educate the community on the benefits of adopting older animals, who still have plenty of love to give.
