adoption, making pet own- ership more attainable and accessible.
Those interested in partic- ipating can visit the Humane Society (2700 Wai‘alae Ave.) between 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and check in at the Couch Crashers consultation table. Adoption representa- tives will match potential foster parents with the right dog for their home, lifestyle and family. Hawaiian Hu- mane Society will provide all the necessary supplies and veterinary care for the dog during its foster period.
As an added incentive to the public, the humane so- ciety is offering a Will You Be Mine adoption special through Feb. 19. During this period, the adoption fee is $14 for all animals. Nor- mally, adoption fees range from $25 for a guinea pig to $250 for puppies. To be clear, this is for those inter- ested in adopting, not for those interested in fostering through the Couch Crashers program.
