[ARCHIVED] NACC to expand evening hours

After-work visiting hours provide convenient times for residents to meet adoptable animals

NORFOLK, VA – Beginning January 7, 2020, Norfolk Animal Care and Adoption Center will expand its evening visiting hours to include Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. That means potential adopters can meet adoptable animals on three weekday evenings, including the shelter’s existing evening hours on Thursdays.

“Thursday has been our biggest adoption day,” said Operations Manager Jake Roos. “We are excited to offer more evening opportunities for adopters and their families to meet the many loving and lovable animals here at NACC – and to increase the number of animals who find their forever homes.”

These expanded evening hours are made possible by the addition of staff to the shelter. The previously offered adoption hours of 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday will shift to the new times. In addition to the expanded adoption hours, this change will provide new enrichment opportunities for animals while at the shelter.

Come on out to meet your new best friend!
