RALEIGH, N.C. — Are you looking for a furry friend to cuddle with this Valentine's Day?

Through Feb 17, the Wake County Animal Center is reducing adoption fees for pets ages six months and older. Dogs are $25 and cats are "name your price."

“We have 51 dogs and 32 cats hoping to find their soulmates this Valentine’s Day,” said Dr. Jennifer Federico, director of the Wake County Animal Center. “These sweethearts would love nothing more than to shower your family with unconditional love.”

Pets who need a forever home

The shelter is open 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

The Wake County Animal Center is an open-admission shelter operated by Wake County. The center receives all stray, abandoned and surrendered pets in the county and works in partnership with fosters, volunteers and local rescues to treat and rehome thousands of homeless animals every year, according to a Facebook post.
