PRIORITY AUTOMOTIVE TO HELP HUNDREDS OF SHELTER PETS FIND HOMES DURING THE HOLIDAYS

For the 12th straight year, Priority Automotive is teaming up with local animal shelters to find homes for shelter pets during the holiday season.

Starting December 5,​ ​Priority will pay half of the adoption fees at four area shelters to help families and individuals reduce the initial cost of bringing a new pet home. Priority has committed $40,000 to the
effort. The program will continue through New Year’s, or until the funds run out.

“Finding homes for shelter pets during the holidays has become a Priority family tradition,” said Priority Automotive President Dennis Ellmer. “These wonderful animals need homes, and there are many loving homes across Hampton Roads ready to make them part of their family.”

COVID-19 restrictions have led to some changes this year. At the Peninsula SPCA, adoptive families are asked to make online appointments and schedule a time to see adoptable pets at the shelter.

Participating shelter locations are as follows:
Virginia Beach SPCA – 3040 Holland Road
Norfolk SPCA – 916 Ballentine Boulevard
Chesapeake Animal Services – 2100 S. Military Highway
Peninsula SPCA – 523 J Clyde Morris Blvd.
