Spring is on the way, or at least one can hope it is in New England.
What better way to prepare for the warmer weather than to adopt a sweet walking buddy?
The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has partnered up with Northeaster Animal Shelter for a special Saint Patrick’s Day “Lucky Dogs Adoptathon.”
Beginning Friday and running through March 31, some of the shelter’s harder to place pups are available to adopt for $100. These special pups will have a star on their adoption profile, letting prospective owners know that they are available for a discounted adoption fee.
So what does it mean when a dog is considered hard to find a home for?
“Some dogs have a harder time finding a home for a variety of reasons — they’re shy with new humans, they’re full of energy, they may have medical issues — but they’ll be great pets for the right home,” the MSPCA tweeted.
