BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - The companionship of a furry friend is priceless, and on Thursday, we mean that quite literally.

The Humane Society of Chittenden County kicks off its big adoption event.

Now through August 21, all animals will have waived adoption fees.

The shelter will also have extended adoption hours.

It’s an effort to boost adoptions and make more room for other animals in need.

The South Burlington shelter opens at 1 p.m.
