JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — During the Black Friday weekend, the humane society waived the adoption fee for pets in their shelters.
“There actually were a couple left and we did end up picking one up, an adorable little Kitten named Tusan," Adam Suka, a new pet owner, said.
People like Suka chose to look for pets at the Jacksonville Humane Society to support the work the society does to help abandoned animals.
“It’s for a good cause I really appreciate the work that they do here and it saves you a lot of money," Suka said.
From Friday to Sunday, the adoption fee was waived for future pet owners looking for their next companion.
Leaders with the society saw 116 adoptions by Sunday morning and events like this help get pets in homes and allow the shelter to bring in more animals.
"During the holiday season, we are jammed packed. Our kennels are completely full, we are on the last tail end of kitten season," said Lisa Creveling, the Marketing communications manager.
"So we are jammed packed and wanting to put pets in homes for holidays. And we are so thankful for our community because every time that they come in and adopt, it allows us to open up a kennel for another deserving pet," Creveling said.
