HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV)—The Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA is over capacity and hopes to free up kennel space with a fee-waived adoption event this Saturday.
The shelter will extend its hours from noon to 6 p.m. on Mar.8 to help find homes for at least 20 dogs. Typically, the shelter operates from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Executive Director Huck Nawaz says adult dogs often get overlooked when puppies are available.
“When there are puppies available for adoption, the adult dogs get overlooked,” Nawaz said. “The puppies tend to go to foster care, leaving the shelter population unchanged.”
Interested adopters must visit the shelter in person, as online applications won’t be accepted for this special event. Available dogs can be viewed on the RHSPCA website.
