Animal Services Campaign calling for 400 Adoptions in two weeks

El Paso Animal Services officials are hoping for some holiday cheer to be shared with their many shelter pets, as the department hosts a “Hope for the Homeless” adoption campaign.

The goal of this effort is to adopt 400 homeless animals during the first two weeks of the month, December 1 through December 14.

All adoptions include the animal’s spay/neuter procedure, initial age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip and City license.

The Animal Services Center has recently seen a small decrease in its population, but despite the change in capacity, the facility continues to see a large number of animals coming through the doors.

The “Hope for the Homeless” campaign will not only focus on adoptions, but will also include a series of insightful social media posts that will provide the public a look at the number of animals that enter and leave a facility during the same two week period.

The community is not only encouraged to adopt a shelter pet this month, but Animal Services is also encouraging residents to follow the Hope for the Homeless campaign on Animal Services’ social media pages at Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
