Looking to add a four-legged companion to your family? This week, from Wednesday through Saturday, the Twins Pine Pass Animal Shelter is hosting a special Adopt-a-Pet Event—and it’s the perfect time to find your new best friend! With waived adoption fees for all animals, you can bring home a loving pet without the usual costs. Whether you’re searching for a playful puppy, a laid-back cat, or even a senior pet who needs a loving home, this is the moment to make a difference in their lives—and yours.
Why Now Is the Best Time to Adopt
Adopting a pet is more than just bringing home an animal. It’s about finding a loyal companion, giving a homeless pet a second chance, and experiencing the unconditional love they have to offer. With the shelter waiving all adoption fees, this event is a fantastic opportunity for you to not only save money but also make a meaningful impact.
Shelters across the country are often at capacity, especially after the holidays or during warmer months, and Twins Pine Pass Animal Shelter is no different. By adopting a pet, you’re helping the shelter create space for more animals in need of care and attention. Plus, every pet adopted is fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped—all included at no cost to you.
Event Details:
- When: Wednesday, October 11 – Saturday, October 14
- Where: Twins Pine Pass Animal Shelter, 213 Mountain View Drive
- Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily
- Adoption Fees: Waived for all animals (includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip)
Meet Your New Family Member
If you’ve been considering adopting, this event is your golden opportunity. The shelter is currently home to dozens of dogs, cats, kittens, and even a few small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs, all waiting for someone to take them home. Each animal has been fully vetted and cared for by the shelter’s dedicated staff and volunteers, and they can’t wait to find their forever homes.
“We’ve got an amazing variety of pets here, all with different personalities and stories,” says Shelter Director Melissa Townsend. “From energetic puppies and playful kittens to older dogs who just want a warm bed and companionship, there’s a pet here for everyone. And with the adoption fees waived, we hope more people in our community will take this opportunity to adopt.”
Success Stories: Lives Changed Through Adoption
Take Max, a five-year-old Golden Retriever mix who came into the shelter a few months ago after his owner had to move away for work. Max is calm, sweet, and absolutely loves people. Or Luna, a one-year-old tabby cat with a big personality and even bigger purrs, who was found as a stray and has quickly become a favorite among the volunteers.
“We adopted our dog Charlie during last year’s event,” shares local resident Susan Harper. “He’s been such a joy in our lives, and knowing we gave him a second chance makes it all the more special. Adopting from the shelter was the best decision we made.”
Not Ready to Adopt? You Can Still Help!
Even if you’re not in a position to adopt, there are plenty of ways to get involved. The shelter is always in need of volunteers to help care for the animals, clean kennels, or even just spend time socializing with the pets. If you’re unable to adopt right now, consider fostering a pet until they find their forever home. Donations of food, toys, and other supplies are always welcome, and every bit helps to ensure the animals are healthy and happy while they wait to be adopted.
How to Prepare for Adoption
If you’re planning to attend the event, make sure to come prepared! Bringing home a new pet is exciting, but it’s also a big responsibility. Here are a few tips to get you ready:
- Research the type of pet that fits your lifestyle (energy level, space requirements, etc.).
- Prepare your home by pet-proofing areas, setting up food and water stations, and having a bed or crate ready.
- Consider the long-term commitment of pet ownership—pets need love, care, and attention for years to come.
The shelter staff will also be on hand to help you through the adoption process, answer any questions, and make sure the pet you choose is the right fit for your home and family.

Whether you’re an experienced pet owner or adopting for the first time, this event is your chance to make a life-changing connection with an animal in need.
