Shelter hopes to avoid euthanizing pets by waiving fees

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - A Georgia animal shelter’s latest promotion was born of necessity.

A shortage of space at the Chatham County Animal Services shelter has prompted the people who run it to waive adoption fees until the end of the year.

If adoptions don’t pick up, the Savannah Morning News reports (https://bit.ly/2ik1Fi6 ), some difficult decisions will have to be made. The animal services director says some animals may have to be euthanized because of the lack of space.

Usually, dogs from the shelter come with a $70 adoption fee. Cats are a bit cheaper at $10.
