The Humane Society of Utah (HSU) is waiving adoption fees for the fifth year of its “Fall in Love Adoption Special” event.

This week, Nov. 14 -18, all animals adopted at the HSU will have no adoption fees, courtesy of Mountain America Credit Union. Animals will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis for adoption without need for appointments, though there will still be the regular adoption approval process.

Since the event’s inception in 2018, more than 500 pets have been adopted, and the HSU is hoping for a similarly large turnout this year, as they’ve seen a large increase in animals but a slowdown in adoptions.

Those looking to take advantage of this cost-effective chance for a forever friend can go to the Humane Society of Utah at 4242 S 300 W in Murray, UT, open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

All my life, I have loved writing and sharing stories. Since I joined UPR in 2022, those stories have had a lot more fact-checking and a lot fewer magical animals, but they've brought me just as much joy. I've also found a secret love for announcing on-air, which my family would probably tell you is no surprise considering how many hours they've listened to me ramble.
