David Brand has offered to cover all Mother's Day adoption fees for pets
adopted or applied for from one of their two shelters  - on Pittsburgh's

"People will still have to purchase the $25 annual membership to use our
low-cost veterinary clinic, and we will adopt only one pet for free to a
family, to ensure that we are not overloading a home.  All of our normal
adoption procedures will still be followed," assured Lee Nesler, Western =
PA
Humane Society Executive Director. =20

=20

Some animals may not be able to go home on Sunday.  People must file
applications for adoption and allow a home visit or a meet and greet =
with
other owned pets, before the animal is placed.  As long as the =
application
is filled out on Mother's Day, they would count towards this unique
promotion. =20

=20

The required annual membership fee of $25 covers an adopter's ability to
make appointments at the two shelters' wellness clinics, provides them =
with
the newsletter, and discounted rates on other Western PA Humane Society
products and services that they may utilize in the future. =20
