Richmond SPCA hosting ‘Mutt Madness,’ name-your-price adult dog adoption event

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- The Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has announced it is hosting an adult dog adoption event, where prospective pet owners can name their own adoption fee.

From March 3 through 9, the Richmond SPCA will allow you to name your price on all adult dogs. When you pick the dog of your choice, you will then choose your adoption fee and leave with your new dog.

According to its website, the Richmond SPCA has a matching system you can use to find a pet if you don't see the pet you're looking for.

"If you don't see the pet you're looking for among the cats and dogs currently available for adoption at our Robins-Starr Humane Center, our match finder tool can help you meet your new best friend," the website reads.

If you want to adopt a dog outside of this "Mutt Madness" promotional period, the age of the dog determines the adoption fee. For adult dogs -- those over 6 months -- the fee is $160 and for puppies under 6 months, the fee is $200.
