If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your family, August is a great time to visit Henderson Animal Protection Services. As part of the Clear the Shelters Adoption Special, the City of Henderson is offering 50% off adoptions for all animals six months and older from August 1 through August 31.

What I like about this campaign is that it gives people a practical reason to take action while helping animals who are ready for a second chance. Shelters can fill up quickly, and every adoption makes a difference — not just for the pet going home, but also for the next animal that needs care, space, and support.

The process is designed to be straightforward. Walk-ins are welcome, and no appointment is needed. All adoptions and foster placements are completed in person at Henderson Animal Protection Services on a first-come, first-served basis, with applicant screening required.

A few key details stand out:

• Clear the Shelters Adoption Special
• August 1–31
• 50% off adoptions
• Applies to all animals six months and older
• Walk-ins welcome
• No appointment needed
• Adoptions and foster placements are done in person
• First-come, first-served basis
• Applicant screening required
• Open Monday–Saturday from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM
• Adoptions finalized by 4:30 PM
• Closed Sundays and government-recognized holidays

For Henderson families, this is a meaningful opportunity to meet adoptable pets in person and see who might be the right fit. Whether you’re looking for a dog, cat, or another companion animal, visiting the shelter gives you a chance to ask questions, learn about available pets, and make a thoughtful adoption decision.

It is also a good reminder that adopting is more than bringing home a pet — it is giving an animal stability, safety, and a family. For many pets, especially those six months and older, finding the right home can be life-changing. They may already have developed personalities, routines, and quirks that help adopters get a better sense of who they are.

My take is this: Henderson’s Clear the Shelters Adoption Special is a great way for locals to support animal welfare and possibly find a new family member. If adoption has been on your mind, August is a smart time to visit, meet the animals, and see whether the right pet is waiting for you.
