Woods Humane Society is encouraging Central Coast families to “Go Big” with an adoption special that reduces adoption fees for large dogs to $50 (plus license fees). The special runs Friday, May 10 through Sunday, May 19.
The promotion applies to dogs weighing 50 pounds or more, and discounts the shelter’s dog adoption fees by as much as 50 percent. Adoption fees typically range from $100-$200.
“Shelters across the country are seeing a disproportionately high prevalence of large-breed dogs in need of homes,” said Woods CEO Emily L’Heureux. “At Woods, we have a number of big dogs that have been in search of families for much longer than our average length of stay, which hovers around two weeks.
“We hope the ‘Go Big’ event will help these dogs find homes, and free up space so that we can welcome in more gentle giants in need of shelter.”
Some of Woods Humane Society’s long-term large dogs available for the reduced $50 adoption fee include: Valentino, Yogi, Jefferson, Panther, Wren, Paisley, Rhea, Lou, Hashi, Daphne, and Bernie.
All adoptable animals have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, licensed, and treated for parasites. Adoptions include a voluntary 30 days of pet insurance, and a free wellness exam at a local vet clinic.
Woods Humane Society’s adoptable dogs are at 875 Oklahoma Ave., San Luis Obispo, which is open to the public daily from 12-5 p.m., with adoption hours from 12-4 p.m.
Founded in 1955, Woods Humane Society is a privately funded, non‐profit, animal sheltering and welfare organization that annually places up to 3,000 dogs and cats into loving homes.
