Pictured above, from left to right: Scooby, Sky, and Leonardo were available for adoption as of Monday, June 2.
The Animal Rescue League of Berks County (ARL) will host a sponsored adoption weekend starting Friday, June 6, and continuing through Sunday, June 8, thanks to the support of an anonymous donor. During the event, all pets over 6 months of age will be free to adopt.
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 for a meet and greet with 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 5 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, get in touch with the ARL at adoption@berksarl.org. To view the available pets, visit berksarl.org/pets/.
