Overflowing kennels lead to half-price adoptions at Langley shelter
A Metro Vancouver animal shelter is “full to the brim” and is seeking help from the public to find its current residents forever homes as soon as possible.
Until Tuesday, August 13, the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is offering 50% off all adult animal adoption fees for dogs and cats.
LAPS posted the urgent call for help on social media as the organization was running out of space to take in new animals in need.

“If you’re considering pet adoption, now is the time. Check out the link in our bio to see the dogs and cats that we have available! Come find your new best friend. Adult animals only.”
