The Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection (RCACP) will host an adoption event on December 17, 2016, between the hours of 11:30 AM and 6 PM to place homeless pets.
The holidays are the time to bring families together. “Those of us at RCACP are asking families to invite a new pet into their homes during the holiday season,” says David Flagler, Executive Director. “Pets add a new dimension of excitement to family gatherings. For those who are alone this holiday, a pet will add warmth to those seeking companionship. Let us help you find the perfect pet for your family.”
Upon an approved application, adoptions fees are free. Arrive early to get your pick of the litter.
The Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection serves the City of Roanoke, the Counties of Botetourt and Roanoke, and the Town of Vinton, and is an “open intake facility”.
The Regional Center primarily handles stray animals picked up by the Animal Control Officers employed by the municipalities, but also accepts strays that are found, and animals owned, by citizens of the municipalities served.
Each year the Regional Center receives between 4,000 and 6,000 animals. The RCACP primary goal is to return animals to their owners; if an animal goes unclaimed, they are made available for adoption or transferred to other animal welfare organizations.
