Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) is offering $30 cat and dog adoptions until November 30, the same price as a King County pet license.

RASKC noted all cats and dogs are microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.

Adopters can also choose to get 30 days of pet health insurance from Trupanion, and dog adopters can use a credit toward training from Rover.
