ELIZABETHTOWN — The Bladen County Animal Control/Shelter will be waiving the adoption fee for dogs and cats through Dec. 22.

You will still be required to pay the $25 dog and $15 cat vaccination fees.

“We hope that by waiving the adoption fees we will get more animals out of the shelter and into a loving home for Christmas,” said Karen Suggs, shelter manager. “We will be closed for the holidays from Dec. 23-25, and will reopen to the public on Dec. 28.”

Anyone with questions can call the shelter at 910-862-6918.
