ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Next month’s Chinese New Year will mark the Year of the Dog, and what better way to celebrate than taking home a furry new family member?
The City of Albuquerque teamed up with Animal Humane for a Year of the Dog adoption event this weekend.
Both organizations are offering $10 adoption fees for both dogs and cats, which covers the cost of vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and microchipping.
One woman who adopted a dog Saturday says the affordable fee made it possible for her to adopt.
“I can afford to buy toys and get a little space together for the dog,” says Christina Norton.
The adoption event continues Sunday at five locations around the city.For more information, click here.
