More than 1,000 pets up for fee-free adoption in Arizona

Adoptions are daily, but waived fees aren't.

The Arizona Humane Society (@azhumane) is waiving its adoption fees this weekend (Friday August 5 thru Sunday 7) to solve the overpopulation in its shelters around the valley.
From the information in its website:
AHS’ adoption fees ensure that we can provide necessary services to our shelter pets before they can be adopted. Our shelters are FULL and because finding forever homes for the animals in our care is priceless, we’re waiving adoption fees in exchange for a monetary donation of any amount, Friday, August 5 through Sunday, August 7.Adopters must complete regular adoption screening process: must be 18 years of age or older; show photo ID; provide verifiable address; and if renting, provide copy of lease agreement and landlord’s contact information so we can verify that the pet is permitted. Limit two (2) pets per household. Sorry, no rain checks will be offered. 
According to a news report by The Republic, the agency has received dozens of pets in the last weeks, and adult dogs have been arriving in multiples. A lady brought eight last week.
More than 1,100 pets are housed in their facilities and many are waiting to be put on the overcrowded adoption floor, says the report by Associated Press.
