PENNSYLVANIA (WHTM) — You might be home for the holidays this year, but why not bring a new furry friend with you?

Humane Pennsylvania announced that they are offering fee-waived adoptions for the next 12 days as part of their sponsored “12 Days of Adoptions” event.

The event is being run in hopes that the shelters can be cleared for the holiday season.

You will be able to adopt a pet, free of charge, from Tuesday, Dec. 13 through Saturday, Dec. 24. All adoptions fees will be waived for potential adopters who are looking to bring a shelter pet home for the holidays.

The sponsors include: Performance Toyota, Fleetwood Bank, FM97, Summit Advisory, Lancaster Newspaper, WIN Home Inspection, Urso Financial, Hounds Town Reading, and more.

Adopters who are looking to provide a forever home for shelter animals are encouraged to visit the shelter campuses or Humane PA’s website by clicking here.

All adoptions will include:

  • Humane Pennsylvania’s 30-day Adoption Health Supplement
  • Spaying or neutering (before adoption)
