Adopt Your New Best Friend for $50 at Broome County’s Empty the Shelters

If you’ve ever shared your life with a dog, you know they’re so much more than just pets. They become family. In my home, we’ve welcomed three dogs over the years, and I can’t imagine life without them. Each one has brought something special into our lives, joy, comfort, and that unconditional loyalty only a dog can give. If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry friend to your own family, the timing couldn’t be better.

Adopt a Dog for Just $50 During Empty the Shelters

From October 1 through October 15, the Broome County Dog Shelter is taking part in the national Empty the Shelters event. During this time, adoption fees drop to just $50, a huge difference from the usual $225. That lower fee means fewer barriers for people who are ready to open their homes and their hearts to a dog who’s been waiting for a second chance.

More Than a Deal: It’s About Saving Lives

This event is about more than just saving a little money, it’s about saving lives. Shelters everywhere are overcrowded right now, and every dog adopted makes room for another one in need. When you walk into the Broome County Dog Shelter, you’ll be met with all kinds of wagging tails and hopeful eyes. Big dogs, little dogs, playful pups, and gentle seniors, they’re all there, waiting for someone to see them not just as shelter animals, but as future companions and best friends.

Bringing Home a Dog Changes Everything

I think back to the days when my family brought our dogs home. They were a little nervous, a little excited, and more than ready for a fresh start. Those moments changed our lives forever. That same story could be yours this month. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. A kennel might be a safe place for now, but your home is where a dog’s story truly begins.
