Let's "paws" to celebrate National Pet Day and spoil our pampered pets on April 11, 2025! If you are looking for a new, loveable cat or dog to join  your pack, Arlington Animal Services wants to help you find the right match!

Arlington Animal Services is offering a discounted pet adoption fee of $10 for dogs and cats designated as a Very Important Pet (VIP) that are looking for their fur-ever homes. Animals can be listed as VIP for a variety of reasons, including time they've spent at the shelter, available space at the shelter, being a senior pet over 8 years of age or other behavior or special needs.

Cat adoption fees are $90 and dog adoption fees are $100. All adoption fees, including those for VIP dogs or cats, include pet vaccinations, spaying or neutering, a microchip, a city license for Arlington residents, and heartworm testing for dogs or FIV/FELV testing for cats. Be sure to follow the Arlington Animal Services Facebook page to learn about adoption specials.
