Dog Blog

The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com

AACCC offering discounted cat adoptions

Discounted cat adoptions this weekendDiscounted cat adoptions this weekend

Update, 8/16: Due to popular demand, the discounts have started today! They will carry on through Sunday.

Dogblog note: If you've been thinking about adopting a cat, here's some good news from Anchorage Animal Care and Control:

Discounted Cat Adoptions – Adoption Fees Reduced to only $12
There’s a CAT for That!

In 1987, the Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center (AACCC) building was constructed. This Saturday and Sunday (changed to Thursday through Sunda), to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our building and National Homeless Animals Day (August 18), AACCC will be reducing adoption fees to only $12 for each adult cat ($12 for 2012). Adult cats are all cats ages one year and older.

We would like to thank our partner, Friends of Pets, for covering the cost of all spay or neuter surgeries for cats adopted this weekend. All cat adoptions include, as always, spay or neuter, vaccinations, and microchip.

AACCC volunteers have put together giveaways and a prize drawing for those coming down to adopt as well! The Center will be open our usual hours, 10:00am-6:00pm, both Saturday and Sunday.

What: Discounted Cat Adoptions
When: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., August 18 & 19, 2012 (Changed to Thursday through Sunday)
Where: AACCC, 4711 Elmore Road, Anchorage
