Humane Rescue Alliance looking to find homes for 48 dogs in 48 hours
The Humane Rescue Alliance needs your help! The D.C. community is being asked to help place 48 puppies into new homes within 48 hours. To help achieve this mission, the HRA is waiving adoption fees, extending walk-in hours and sending home dogs with leashes and collars.
WASHINGTON - In a rapid race for puppy love, 48 dogs were adopted from the Humane Rescue Alliance in 48 hours over the weekend, said a spokesperson from the shelter.
The Humane Rescue Alliance placed 48 pups in adoptive or foster homes, said Samantha Miller, the Alliance’s acting director of communications.
"We are so grateful to our community for rising to the challenge, as always," said Miller.
But the Alliance still has more work to do. Miller said that the shelter still has 126 dogs looking for a home.
The shelter finds homes for 18 dogs per weekend, on average.
The Humane Rescue Alliance has locations in Northwest D.C. and in Northeast D.C. Their next adoption event will be on Nov. 4.
