 Hey everyone, this is Victoria with Columbia Animal Services and I'm here to tell you about our September adoption special, which is going to be our facility partaking in Best Friends National Animal Society's National Adoption Weekend. We will be honoring that on Friday, September 15th and Saturday, September 16th with waived adoptions. Those adoptions will be waived for all of our adoptable shelter pets. All pets are going to come spayed, neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and dogs will be heartworm tested as well. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 12pm to 5pm and Saturday, 9am to 4pm. If you are looking to adopt outside of the adoption event, adoption fees are usually only $35. Events like this are so important for shelters this time of year as many of us are facing overcrowding and capacity issues. If you are not available to adopt, we have a lot of really great programs that would allow you to temporarily take an animal home such as our foster program or come out to the shelter and sign up to be a volunteer where you can get dogs out on a daily basis for animal enrichment. Give us a call at 803-776-PETS if you have interest in any of our programs or additional questions about the adoption event.
