H.S.S.M. Urges Choosing Adoption as Your First Option with “Fa-La-La Fee-Waived Wednesdays” Throughout December
“Adopting a pet this Holiday season will bring such joy to your home,” said Krystyna Schmitt, H.S.S.M. Marketing Specialist, “Anytime is a great time to adopt. But we know that during the Holidays, many families are looking to add a new pet to their family. And what could be better than saving a pet and seeing the gratitude in their eyes on Christmas morning.”
The “Fa-La-La Fee-Waived Wednesday” event, featuring waived adoption fees, will be held at H.S.S.M.’s facility on Highway 49 in Gulfport and last from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. each Wednesday in December, including Christmas Eve. During these fee-waived events, in lieu of an adoption fee H.S.S.M. is asking simply a donation in an amount of the adopter’s choosing ($10 minimum), plus a $5 tag fee.*

The success of “Fa-La-La Fee-Waived Wednesday” is integral in helping H.S.S.M. work towards our goal of eliminating the euthanasia of healthy and treatable pets in our community.
H.S.S.M. has not euthanized any healthy, adoptable pet since 2012, however, H.S.S.M. is still losing a number of pets to treatable conditions and is working to see that change. Events like “Fa-La-La Fee-Waived Wednesday” allow H.S.S.M. to find more pets loving homes and reduce shelter overcrowding (which leads to illness), therefore saving more homeless pets on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
