March Madness: Find an MVP at the Local Animal Shelter
As collegiate basketball teams across the country battle for a title, hundreds of homeless animals in Santa Barbara County battle for their forever home. In honor of March Madness, Animal Services will be offering adoption discounts on long term dogs and cats starting today and running until the end of the tournament on April 4, 2011.
During the March Madness Tournament all animals that have been at the shelter for 60 days or longer are eligible for a $10 discount for dogs and a $5 discount for cats. There is an additional $5 or $10 discount for every 30 days thereafter. Maximum discount is $50 for dogs and $40 for cats.
Shelter animals have all of the qualities you look for in your Most Valuable Pet. They are loyal, loving companions. Not only do they enjoy playing when it is game time but they also enjoy relaxing with you after your victory. Everyone wins when you adopt a shelter animal.
