Palm Springs Animal Shelter announces $2.48 adoption event from July 5-7

From July 5 through July 7, the Palm Springs Animal Shelter is hosting an adoption event for $2.48 per pet, the shelter shared on Facebook.

The adoption fee is a nod to the nation's 248th year of independence.

Dogs, big and small, and cats are seeking new homes, with a collage of over 80 photos shared on social media.

Over the past few months, animal shelters in the desert have seen an overcrowding crisis. KESQ's Angela Chen has reported that the Palm Springs Animal Shelter can house 42 big dogs, but as of April 2024, the capacity is over 70.

Adopt your furry new friend at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, located at 4575 E. Mesquite Avenue in Palm Springs. The hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Sunday.
