Adoption fees will be waived for dogs over 40 pounds during the “More to Love” event with the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center (MCASAC).
It is not uncommon for dogs weighing more than 40 pounds to wait one month or more for adoption, according to a release from the county, while small dogs are often adopted within an hour of being available.
The event is sponsored by Friends of Montgomery County Animals (FMCA). It starts Valentine’s Day and lasts until Feb. 24.
People can fill out an adoption questionnaire online and email in required documents to start the process. Those interested can also visit the Adoption Center in-person during open hours.
The county said adoptions are first-come, first-served by appointment and walk-in appointments are based on counselor availability. Adopters should anticipate taking a pet home after the appointment.
