Lewis County Animal Shelter to lower adoption fee for adult dogs for a week

Next week, the Lewis County Animal Shelter will lower the adoption fee for adult dogs to help the county’s four-legged friends find their forever homes.

Beginning Tuesday, April 30, the adoption fee for adult dogs will be reduced from $210 to $50. The reduced fee will continue through Saturday, May 11.

In a news release, Lewis County Animal Shelter Manager Joseph Henderson said the shelter is operating at capacity and needs additional space to accept new dogs. The adoptable dogs currently at the shelter include a Anatolian shepherd named Houdini, a pit bull mix named Connor and a bloodhound mix named Harvey, among others.

“We currently have about 40 dogs on a waitlist to be turned in by their owners,” Henderson said. “We are receiving calls daily from Lewis County residents who for many reasons need to find new homes for their dogs.”

The Lewis County Animal Shelter is located at 560 Centralia Alpha Road in Chehalis. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays. To view the dogs that are available for adoption, go to https://www.petfinder.com/search/dogs-for-adoption/?shelter_id%5B0%5D=WA114&sort%5B0%5D=recently_added.
