Happy Paw-lidays!  The adoption event, which will be held on Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th at both HARP’s East Side (6926 Hamilton Avenue) and North Side (1101 Western Avenue) locations, hopes to give the animals in its care the best gift, a loving home just in time for the holidays.

The “Happy Paw-lidays” adoption event is an opportunity for individuals and families to open their hearts and homes to a new four-legged friend. With an abundance of adorable cats, dogs, and other companion animals eagerly awaiting their forever homes, attendees can expect to find the purr-fect addition to their family.

To make bringing home a new friend even more joyful, HARP will offer a 25% discount on adoption fees for adult animals 6 months or older to guests who donate an item to Ellie’s Pet Pantry. (Discount does not apply to kittens or puppies.) All animals are spayed or neutered, microchipped, given vaccinations appropriate for their age at the time of adoption, and given flea/tick protection. In addition, dogs 6 months or older are tested for heartworm. The “Happy Paw-lidays” adoption event is generously sponsored by Tri-State Office Furniture.

From 10 am to noon on Saturday, December 9 there will be special holiday festivities including holiday treats and refreshments, special photo opportunities and a visit from Santa Claus! (Please note, photos are for human guests and not owned pets.) In the spirit of giving this season, HARP encourages the public to bring items, such as dog and cat food, pet treats, toys and other needed items from our wish list. These donations will be used in HARP’s two domestic shelters as well as for pets and owners in need in the local community.

Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh is committed to finding loving homes for animals in need and creating lasting bonds between pets and their adoptive families. Join us in making this holiday season a memorable one for both humans and furry friends alike!
