Drano update

Drano became a media sensation in June after he accidentally slipped down the drain and had to be rescued by a plumber who rushed to his aid. Drano's story touched many, many people in our community - and beyond - and we already have received an overwhelming interest from potential adopters.

He has had so much interest, in fact, that we are instituting a special adoption process just for him and his five siblings, who are scheduled to be available for adoption in mid-August.

Special adoption process:

In order for us to make the process as fair as possible, we will be accepting adoption applications starting now and ending at 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 15. All applications must be dropped off in person at the Escondido Humane Society, located at 3450 E. Valley Parkway.

All applications will be reviewed by our Adoptions staff, and only approved adopters will be eligible to take a puppy home. Approved applications will be assigned a number, and staff will use a random number generator to choose the adopter.

For more information, please call our Adoption Center at (760) 888-2247

* Please note: Our normal adoption policy is on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of the interest in Drano and his siblings and the influx of potential adopters we expect to see, we are making a special exception in order to be as fair as possible.
