Ark Valley Humane Society is spreading holiday cheer with its Home Fur the Holidays adoption event, aimed at helping shelter animals find loving homes before the new year.

Throughout the month of December, all adoptable animals at the shelter are available with 50% off adoption fees. The promotion applies to pets ready for adoption and is intended to make it easier for families and individuals to welcome a new companion into their home.

Ark Valley Humane Society says the initiative is designed to increase adoptions during the holiday season and give more animals the chance to start the new year in a safe, permanent home.

Community members interested in adopting are encouraged to visit the shelter during December to meet the animals and learn more about the adoption process.
