Woods Humane Society Waives Adoption Fees for Senior Pets in November
Woods Humane Society in San Luis Obispo and Atascadero is waiving adoption fees for all senior pets aged 7 and older throughout November, coinciding with National Adopt a Senior Pet Month.
Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, November 2, 2026 — Woods Humane Society, with locations in San Luis Obispo and Atascadero, announced it is waiving adoption fees for senior pets throughout the month of November. This initiative is part of the observance of National Adopt a Senior Pet Month.
The program specifically targets animals aged 7 years and older, aiming to find loving homes for these mature companions. Senior pets often present a calm demeanor and may already be house-trained, making them a suitable choice for many households. The decision to waive adoption fees is intended to encourage more individuals and families to consider adopting an older animal.
National Adopt a Senior Pet Month is an annual event dedicated to highlighting the benefits of adopting older dogs and cats. These pets often face longer stays in shelters compared to their younger counterparts. By removing financial barriers, Woods Humane Society hopes to increase the visibility and adoption rates for pets that may otherwise be overlooked.
The adoption fee waiver applies to all senior pets meeting the age criteria at both the San Luis Obispo and Atascadero facilities for the entirety of November. Potential adopters are encouraged to visit the shelters to meet the available senior animals and learn more about the adoption process. Further details regarding specific animal availability or adoption requirements were not immediately provided in the summary.
