TEAM is sponsoring adoption fees for the first 40 dog and the first 40 cats adopted during the month of December, along with an anonymous donor who has generously sponsored adoptions for 20 large breed dogs. Hundreds of donated holiday stockings filled with toys and treats are also available for pets adopted during the month of December (one stocking per adopted pet).

The animal shelter will also host several walk-in adoption events during the month of December to help as many pets find their forever homes.
