Edmonton Humane Society holds Clear Our Shelter adoption event

The Edmonton Humane Society (EHS) was hoping to find homes for more than 500 animals during its “Clear Our Shelter” adoption event Friday and Saturday.
 

The event was organized in response to the February seizure of more than 500 animals, including small mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and spiders, from the My Pet store in West Edmonton Mall in one of the Edmonton Humane Society’s largest seizures to date.

“This will be the largest number of animals we’ve ever had available for adoption at one time, and our goal is to find each one a loving forever home this weekend,” EHS CEO Miranda Jordan-Smith said in a news release. “With the number and various species of animals currently in care, we want to re-home them urgently to ensure their optimum health welfare, and to reinstate our regular capacity.”

The adoptable animals include dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, lizards, snakes, spiders, frogs, crabs and birds, as well as hundreds of fish. Most of the animals will be available for a reduced adoption fee of $25, while dogs, puppies and kittens will be 25 per cent off the regular adoption fee. Fish will be adopted for $1 each.
Potential adopters will still be required to go through the EHS adoption process.
