You’ll Want to Adopt All These Adorable Pets This Weekend

On Saturday's Clear the Shelters event, local animal shelters will waive their adoption fees.

Bring home pets like Minnow this weekend without an adoption fee. All photographs by Mimi Montgomery.

Does your house need a puppy? What about a cat? A lively dog named Scooby Doo? Or a guinea pig called Oreo?

Any of these (or all! No judgment here) could be yours. Saturday, the Humane Rescue Alliance and NBC4 are partnering for Clear the Shelters, a day where adoption fees will be waived. You can visit both DC HRA shelter locations, as well as a list of other participating facilities, to pick out your new partner in crime.

Okay, enough talking. Time to give the people what they want—pictures of cute animals! These (and many, many more adorable faces) will be looking for a home come Saturday.
