Tomorrow, Saturday, March 2nd the St. Clair County Animal Control at 3378 Griswold Road in Port Huron, will host a special animal adoption event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  According to St. Clair County Administrator Controller, Karry Hepting there will be discounted rates on the cats and dogs for adoption.  Hepting said they have some long-timers as well as some senior animals, and they will be offering different discounts and specials on various pets that they have available in an attempt to move them into homes.  In the past, at the empty the shelters events, people needed to apply and be pre-qualified prior to the event, and that is NOT the case for this event.  Applications can be filled out at the shelter, no need to make an appointment or pre-register.
