Jasper pet adoption scheduled by Animal Rescue
Your local animal rescue volun
teer organization, Pickens Animal
Rescue, will be holding their April
pet adoption on April 24th.
The adoption will be held in the
parking area of Town & Country
Pet Mart on North Main Street in
Jasper from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. Our
volunteers will also be grilling ham
burgers and hotdogs to sell with
chips and drinks! Come out and
support your rescue group and help
us raise some much needed funding
while enjoying a delicious lunch!
There are many wonderful dogs
and cats available for adoption
including puppies and adult dogs
and cats.
The adoption fee of $75 covers
the cost for the health care that has
already been provided for these
pets. All pets have been
spayed/neutered prior to the adop
tion, received age appropriate vac
cines and are on monthly flea/tick
control.
If you are interested in bringing
a stray dog or cat to the Jasper Pet
Adoption, we ask that you contact
our Help Line prior to the adoption
