The animal shelter recently took in 90 dogs, but only 17 have been adopted.
WASHINGTON — Have you been considering adding a four-legged friend to your family? This week a D.C. animal rescue will be offering a huge discount to help you take home a furry friend.
A spokesperson with the Humane Rescue Alliance reports that the animal rescue took in 90 dogs last week but unfortunately, only 17 were adopted.
"It’s an unsustainable equation," said Acting Director of Communications Samantha Miller.
The shelter is full and is offering a 50% discount on adoption fees for dogs starting Tuesday, April 11 and running through Sunday, April 16 to help clear the shelter.
The Humane Rescue Alliance has two locations at 71 Oglethorpe Street in Northwest D.C. and 1201 New York Avenue in Northeast D.C.
Walk-in adoptions are available Tuesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. until 7 p.m.

Police arrested and charged Zenobia Fisher and Alphonso Allen with second-degree theft and animal cruelty after the couple allegedly sold at least four of the 2-week-old puppies they were supposed to be fostering.
