Special adoption fees will be offered during the 12-hour event: $12 for cats, $24 for dogs (excluding ambassadors). Staff and volunteers will stay at the shelters until midnight in an effort to place as many animals as possible in new homes- just in time for Christmas.

All adoptions include spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccinations and microchip.

Beginning at 9 p.m., the event transforms into a pajama party. Staff and volunteers will wear their favorite sleepwear, there will be refreshments and a selfie station to make a photo with your new family member.
