Each dog will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Those that have already undergone spaying or neutering can be taken home by their new owners on the same day. Potential adopters are required to bring a valid ID, along with a leash and collar.

The event precedes significant renovations at the shelter, which include the addition of 60 larger kennels. These upgrades are part of a broader investment aimed at improving animal care and enhancing visitor areas. Additionally, a foster information session is scheduled for June 25 at 6 p.m. at the Thomas P. Ryan R-Center, located at 530 Webster Ave.
