In celebration of National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, November, Humane Pennsylvania will waive adoption fees for pets over the age of 8 through Saturday, Nov. 30. The adoption event will take place at both the Lancaster Adoption Center for Cats and Critters, 2195 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, and the Freedom Center for Animal Life-Saving, 1801 N. 11th St., Reading. Adoption hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is made possible by longtime supporters of Humane Pennsylvania who wish to remain anonymous.

Prospective adopters are encouraged to visit the shelter campuses or http://www.humanepa.org. All potential adopters are required to go through Humane Pennsylvania's adoption screening process, and approval is not guaranteed.

As part of the adoption process, all pets will come with a comprehensive care package to ensure a smooth transition to their forever homes. Adoptions include Humane Pennsylvania's 30-day Adoption Health Supplement; spaying or neutering prior to adoption; vaccinations, including rabies vaccination, and de-worming medication; flea treatment; microchipping and chip registration; and a free, 1-pound bag of Science Diet pet food.
