The Humane Educational Society of Chattanooga, McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center, East Ridge Animal Shelter and Catoosa Citizens for Animal Care are holding a collective Mega Adopt-athon Sept. 9-11 at the PetSmart parking lot on Gunbarrel Road.
More than 100 dogs and cats will be available for a $50 adoption fee, which includes spay or neuter, vaccinations and a microchip, said event spokeswoman Laura Westbrook.
“We are hoping to get 100 dogs adopted from our overcrowded shelters,” she said of the event. “We have more dogs than cats in our shelters, but we will have quite a few cats.”
Westbrook said shelter populations are typically highest in the summer.
