If you've been thinking about welcoming a pet into your home, now could be the perfect time to visit one of Proanima's shelters.

Until July 19, Proanima is waiving adoption fees to help more animals find loving homes during the summer months, when pet abandonment tends to increase.

Nearly 50 animals arrive at Proanima's shelters every day, and every successful adoption helps create space for another animal in need. While adoption fees are waived for a limited time, the organization says its adoption process remains exactly the same.

All adoption applications are carefully reviewed to ensure each animal is matched with the right family, with the goal of creating a successful, lifelong relationship that's in the animal's best interest.

Every dog and cat available for adoption is already vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped, so new owners can focus on helping their newest family member settle into their new home.

If you'd like to support Proanima's work even further, you're also invited to make a voluntary donation of any amount when adopting.

You can browse some of the animals currently looking for homes online or visit one of Proanima's three animal service centres in person.

Whether you're ready to adopt now or have been considering it for a while, this limited-time campaign is an opportunity to welcome a new companion into your life while helping another animal receive the care and shelter it needs.
