St. Charles County, MO - Are you looking for the “purr-fect” addition to your family this holiday season? Consider adopting a dog or cat from the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center! There are lots of furry companions waiting to bring joy to your family now and for many holidays to come.

Just in time for Christmas, the Pet Adoption Center will host its annual Holiday Pet Adoption event on Saturday, Dec. 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center is conveniently located at 4850 Mid Rivers Mall Dr. in St. Peters, just a short drive from anywhere in St. Charles County. While there, you can visit with an animal trainer, learn about caring for your new pet, and even get a photo with Santa! In addition, there will be free gifts for those who adopt a new pet during the celebration.

All pets placed by the Pet Adoption Center are given a thorough health exam, receive their initial vaccinations, are microchipped for identification, and are spayed or neutered. Compared to fees charged by other centers, the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center offers an outstanding value.

2. Adult dogs: $50
3. Kittens: $40
