Humane Rescue Alliance waives adoption fees through Sunday

Fees to adopt a new furry friend, big or small, are being waived through Sunday, Dec. 4.

WASHINGTON — Editor's Note: The video above aired Oct. 22, 2022.

The Humane Rescue Alliance is waiving adoption fees for all dogs over 40lbs and all small animals through Sunday, Dec. 4.

HRA's adoption center, located at 71 Oglethorpe Street NW, is open for in-person visits Tuesday through Sunday 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., with no appointment needed.

Offsite on Sunday, the nonprofit is inviting owners and their pets to come take holiday photos at The Big Bad Wolf located at 6960 Maple Street NW. The suggested donation for this event is $20, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the HRA. Officials say even if you can't adopt, come to the event and donate to the shelter to save a life. As a bonus HRA's mascot Wags is expected to make an appearance at the fundraising event.

Virtual adoptions are also continuing for animals in foster homes. HRA officials say from the comfort of your home you can select an animal, set up a virtual meet and greet, and even conduct an adoption counseling session.
