Current Adoption Promotion
"Love is Blind"
This spring we want to invite the community to fall in love in a whole new way with its upcoming adoption event, “Love Is Blind: Animal Services Edition.”
This unique, VIP-style experience is designed to help adopters connect with pets based on personality rather than first impressions. Event dates are set for May 6, May 13, and May 20, and appointments are required. Appointments are required and
can be scheduled here. Appointments become available the Monday prior to each event.
During this one-on-one matchmaking experience, participants will be guided by Animal Services staff who will introduce them to pets thoughtfully selected based on their lifestyle, preferences and what they are looking for in a companion.
How It Works: Participants will schedule an appointment for one of the designated event days and receive a personalized adoption experience. During their visit, they will:
- Meet with a dedicated staff member
- Share their lifestyle and pet preferences
- Be introduced to carefully matched pets
- Have the opportunity to form a genuine connection—no swiping required
Adoption Special: To encourage participation and help more pets find homes, adoption fees will be waived for any pet adopted through this event. All pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to going home. Everything else will have the same price as always: Dogs $80 and Cats $50.
