The Animal Rescue League of Berks County (ARL) will host adoption events from Nov. 29 through Dec. 13, thanks to the support of Chewy, Best Friends Society for the Animals, Petco, and Bissell Pet Foundation.

From Dec. 2 through Dec. 13, all animals 6 months of age and older will have a reduced adoption fee of $35 as part of the Empty the Shelters Adoption Event by the Bissell Pet Foundation.

On Dec. 7 and Dec. 8, a Home-for-the-Holidays Mobile Cat Adoption event will be held at Petco’s Wyomissing location, honoring the Bissell Pet Foundation’s reduced adoption fee.

“We’re thrilled to partner with such incredible organizations to make pet adoption accessible for everyone,” said Amara Cordero, Shelter Director. “This event will give our pets the opportunity to start the holidays in the warmth of a loving home.”

All adopters must go through the ARL’s regular procedures to adopt, including completing an adoption profile and speaking with an adoption counselor to ensure that the pet they select is a good match for their home, family, and lifestyle.

Adopters are encouraged to bring their family members to meet their new pet at the time of adoption and to bring their dogs from home to meet and greet other dogs at the shelter. Dog adopters will also want to bring cash or a check for a $9.20 dog license, which is required at the time of adoption under PA law. Adopters will also want to bring a cat carrier (or they can purchase one from the ARL for $5) and a dog collar and leash (or they can purchase one from the ARL).

The ARL will be open on Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; no appointments are necessary. A virtual “line” is set up at www.berksarl.org/hello, where guests can check in when they arrive at the shelter. All guests will be able to check their place in line and be notified by text when it’s their turn to work with an adoption counselor.

For more information, please get in touch with the ARL at adoption@berksarl.org. To view the available pets, visit https://berksarl.org/pets/.
