The ‘Here Comes Santa Paws’ special will be held from Dec. 1 to Dec. 3, shelter officials said. All pets will be $50 to adopt, excluding VIP pets.
We’re told the special is made possible through BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters - Holiday Hope event. More than 350 shelters in 43 states will be offering reduced adoption fees for animals during the event.
“We’re so excited to partner with BISSELL Pet Foundation for this national event to help save pets,” said LHS’s Development and Communications Manager, Claire LeFew. “We have so many wonderful pets here at the Center right now that are just waiting to meet their new families before the holidays.”

As we reported last December, there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re thinking about gifting someone a pet. The Roanoke Valley SPCA offered the following tips:
- Make sure the person you’re gifting is committed and ready to take on the responsibility,
- Make sure the person you’re gifting is ready for the pet financially,
- Instead of picking the pet on your own, make an event out of the adoption and take your family to the shelter.
