Dogs, cats free at SCRAPS with purchase of license

Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services (SCRAPS) is offering a sale on its remaining animals as the organization prepares to move into a new building. Starting Thursday, and lasting until June 8, all animals will be free with purchase of a license. That means cats and kittens will cost $15, and dogs and puppies will cost $25, a news release from the organization said. That cost includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, micro-chipping, a license and exams. SCRAPS’ current shelter at 2521 N. Flora Road will close June 10 and 11 for the move. The organization’s new building at 6815 E. Trent Ave. will open for business at 10 a.m. on June 12. On June 21, the public is invited to an official “leash cutting” at 9:45 a.m. during an event called Band Together for the Animals. The free, public open house will last from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will include self-guided tours, prize-drawings, animal-related seminars and more.
