Eagles Cover Adoption Fees At Animal Shelter In Gloucester Twp.

BLACKWOOD, NJ — The Philadelphia Eagles will cover all adoption fees at a local animal shelter until Super Bowl Sunday.

Fees will be covered until Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center in Blackwood.

Homeward Bound is one of South Jersey's biggest animal shelters, taking in about 5,000 animals per year from 18 Camden County municipalities.

The adoption center is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"This is an incredible gesture by the Eagles," said County Commissioner Jeffrey Nash, the shelter's liaison. "Eliminating the cost of adoption fees will motivate people to open their hearts and their homes to a new pet."

Homeward Bound is located on 125 County House Rd., Blackwood.
