Rochester Animal Services Offers Fee-Waived Adoptions This Sunday
Rochester Animal Services is waiving adoption fees for dogs and cats this Sunday at their 184 Verona Street location. The event runs from noon to 4 p.m.
Rochester, NY, October 8, 2026 — Rochester Animal Services will be waiving all adoption fees for dogs and cats this coming Sunday. The event aims to find homes for adoptable animals in the community.
The fee-waiver initiative will take place at the Rochester Animal Services facility, located at 184 Verona Street. Prospective adopters will have the opportunity to bring home a canine or feline companion without incurring the usual adoption costs.
The special adoption event is scheduled to run from 12:00 p.m. (noon) until 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. This limited timeframe encourages interested individuals and families to plan their visit accordingly.
Typically, adoption fees help cover essential services such as vaccinations, microchipping, spaying or neutering, and general care for the animals during their stay at the shelter. By waiving these fees, Rochester Animal Services hopes to increase adoption rates and provide more animals with permanent homes.
Officials from Rochester Animal Services encourage anyone considering adding a pet to their family to visit the Verona Street location during the event hours. All standard adoption procedures and requirements are expected to apply, even with the waived fees.
