Humane Society of Scott County Waives Adoption Fees for Adult Animals

Davenport Rock Island Moline, IA, September 23, 2026 —

The Humane Society of Scott County has announced a fee-waiver initiative aimed at increasing adoptions of adult animals. The program, which began recently, applies to adult dogs weighing over 30 pounds and adult cats. The adoption fees for these eligible animals will be waived throughout the month of September, concluding on September 30.

This initiative seeks to provide more opportunities for these specific animals to find permanent homes. Adult dogs and cats often face longer stays in shelters compared to younger animals, and by removing the financial barrier of adoption fees, the Humane Society of Scott County hopes to encourage potential adopters to consider these animals.

Details regarding the specific criteria for an animal to be considered “adult” under this program were not provided. Similarly, information on the number of animals that qualify for this promotion or the expected number of adoptions is not currently available. The Humane Society of Scott County has not specified the exact date the fee waiver promotion commenced, other than it is currently active and will end on September 30.

The adoption process itself is expected to remain consistent, involving an application and screening to ensure suitable matches between animals and their new families. Potential adopters are encouraged to visit the Humane Society of Scott County during their operating hours to meet the available adult dogs and cats. The organization has not provided further details on any specific events planned in conjunction with this fee-waiver period.
