$19.10 adoption price marks anniversary

To celebrate 100 years of service to Chattanooga and Hamilton County, the Humane Educational Society is rolling back the price of every adoption to $19.10, the year HES was founded.

Through July, all dogs, puppies, cats and kittens are available at the discounted price, “giving you a little extra cash to spend on peanut butter treats, squeaky toys and catnip,” HES officials said in a news release. The regular cost is $85 to $90.

The adoption fee includes sterilization, microchip, rabies shot, annual vaccination, veterinary health check and free bag of pet food.

The HES is at 212 N. Highland Park Ave. For more information, call 624-5302 or visit www.HESChatt.com.
