Name Your Own Price For Dogs At Animal Foundation Shelter (Rabbits, Too)

The Animal Foundation’s Lied Animal Shelter is overflowing with dogs, so you can name your own fee for one Thursday through Monday (the 14th).

You can adopt any of the shelter's 250 or so canines for whatever you feel you can afford, as opposed to the usual fee of $105 to $250. The Animal Foundations says all offers made by qualifying adopters will be accepted. Microchipping, spaying or neutering, and vaccinations all included. 

Adoption fees for rabbits will also be waived during the "Save a Life" weekend. And, for the entire month, adoption fees for kittens under six months old are 50 percent off and cats six months and older are just $5 to adopt.

Summer is usually the busiest season for animals to be dropped off at the shelter.
