A coalition involving the MSPCA-Angell and five of its shelter partners is waiving adoption fees for dogs one year old and older as part of a holiday adopt-a-thon event.
Called "Snow Place Like Home," the event will run from Dec. 8 to Dec. 14.
"We started the coalition last year with the goal of reducing euthanasia in shelters across the state and improving the overall well-being of animals that call the Commonwealth home," said Jamie Garabedian, project manager in the MSPCA-Angell's Animal Protection Division, in a statement shared with NewsCenter 5. "A big part of that is lowering the barriers to adoption."
