Free animal adoption events on Wednesdays

Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (MACC) is offering free animal adoption events. 

Every Wednesday in August and September, you can adopt an animal for free, no matter where you live.  For Minneapolis residents, this also covers City-required pet licenses.

This event is thanks to a $13,300 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
