In fact, 26 adoptions took place on the first day of the group's "hallmark holiday adoption" event, according to Lauren Behringer, RAL's special event manager. "The beautiful part of that is that because we had so many adoptions, we can fill those kennels back up with even more pets who need our help," Behringer said. The shelter's adoption fees, which range from $75-$125 for cats and $150-$250 for dogs throughout the year based on the age of the animal, have dropped to just $10 thanks to the program's sponsors. Additionally, RAL's hours have expanded to 12-5 p.m. on weekends and 1-6 p.m. on weekdays through Friday, Dec. 21. Any pets not adopted during Operation Silent Night will spend the holidays in loving…...
