Fox Marquette Subaru has partnered with the Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter to sponsor adoption fees for animals aged 6 months and older. This initiative provides a cost-free opportunity for residents to adopt cats, dogs, and select small animals during the month of October.
Why it matters
The sponsorship aims to keep animal populations stable at the no-kill shelter by removing financial barriers for potential owners. By covering these costs, the dealership supports the facility in finding permanent homes for its long-term residents.
The promotion applies to all dogs, cats, and small animals at least 6 months old, though reptiles are excluded from the coverage. The Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter remains open for walk-in adoptions every day except Monday.
