DENVER - The Denver Municipal Animal Shelter is getting a jump on Valentine's Day by offering an event to match potential adopters with homeless pets.
Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the shelter will open for adoptions only and offer reduced adoption fees ($85 for dogs, $50 for cats, $10 for small animals).
Volunteers will be on hand to assist visitors.
People looking for a companion for existing pets can bring pets to the shelter to introduce them, said spokeswoman Megan Hughes. Visiting pets must be vaccinated.
The new The Denver animal shelter, which opened last year, is located at 1241 W. Bayaud Ave., Denver. It is twice the size of the old shelter on Jason Street.
