Pet Adoption Center honors those who serve

Local heroes may adopt dogs and cats for free from Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center through Aug. 31, County Executive L. Brooks Patterson announced recently. "PAWS to say thank you" is the county's way to acknowledge individuals who make a difference in other people's lives. The center will waive adoption fees for all Active Duty Military, Reservists, National Guard, veterans, police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, emergency dispatchers, doctors, nurses, teachers, and senior citizens (65 years or older). There is a $7.50 licensing fee for dogs. Heroes who wish to adopt must have identification and proof of status. "Our everyday heroes deserve to be honored for their sacrifices and the difference they make," Patterson said. "Free pet adoption is the county's way of saying â??thank you' for all they do." This program is one of a series of pet adoption events to help the center win a $100,000 grant from Rachel Ray and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The center's goal is to adopt out 2,014 pets during the months of June, July and August. The Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center is located at 1700 Brown Road in Auburn Hills.
