Paws O’ Gold pet adoption event planned
The Jacksonville Humane Society (JHS) is bringing a little extra luck to pet adoption this St. Patrick’s Day with its festive new event, Paws O’ Gold. For a limited time, potential adopters can pick their very own “lucky discount” to apply toward their adoption fee.
Anyone interested in adopting is encouraged to visit the JHS Adoption & Education Center, located at 8464 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, during the following hours:
Every adopted pet will go home spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.
Additional items and fees, such as a leash and collar, city rabies licensing or a cat carrier, may apply at the time of adoption. For additional information, go to jaxhumane.org.
