Bark Week 2026: $50 Dog & Cat Adoptions at The VHS

Bark Week Is Here! Adopt a New Best Friend for Just $50

If you've been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, this might be the perfect week to do it.

Bark Week is happening July 21 through July 25, and for a limited time, adoption fees for all dogs and cats are just $50. Whether you've had your eye on a playful puppy, a laid-back senior dog, a curious kitten, or a cuddly cat, this is a great opportunity to give a deserving animal a loving home while saving on adoption costs.

Don't Miss the Bark Party

I mean come on, look at that cute doggie having a soapy fun time! Who wouldn't want to be around a furry friend like that?

The celebration wraps up with a Bark Party on Friday, July 25, from noon until 4 p.m., and it sounds like it's going to be a fun afternoon for the whole family.

There will be plenty of delicious food trucks, 31 local vendors, and even a foam party from 1 to 3 p.m. for kids (and kids at heart) to cool off and have some fun. While you're there, be sure to stop by the Happy Tails Resale Shop, where you can browse for unique finds while supporting the shelter's mission.

Of course, the biggest attraction will be the adorable dogs and cats waiting to meet their forever families. You just might leave with a new best friend.

Whether you're ready to adopt or simply want to enjoy a fun community event, Bark Week is worth checking out. Come out, support a great cause, and who knows? You may just get hooked on a fin-tastic new family member.
