For the month of July, a dog can be adopted from Lee County Domestic Animal Services for just $30, and adoption fees for cats and kittens are waived entirely.

The promotion provides a great opportunity for families to welcome a new furry companion while helping shelter pets find loving homes, according to a press release from the shelter.

Adoptions take place at the shelter, 5600 Banner Drive, Fort Myers. Adoption hours are 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed on July 4.

Adoption applications can be submitted electronically at www.leegov.com/animalservices/adopt.

They also can be printed and faxed or brought to the shelter or completed in person.
