Redmond’s BrightSide Animal Center soon will be open on Sundays; kickoff celebration planned

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- BrightSide Animal Center announced Wednesday the expansion of its hours to include Sundays, beginning Sunday, June 7th, with hours of operation being 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM.

"This change is part of the organization’s ongoing commitment to better serve the community and increase access to essential animal services such as owner reclaims, animal intakes, and adoptions," the shelter said. 

“We understand how busy life can be, and that a significant amount of people in our community tend to have Saturdays and Sundays off, so we want to be able to provide them with weekend access, as we know that’s important,” said Shelter Director Hannah Loftis.

“Opening Sundays means we can make sure animals don’t have to wait whether it be another day to potentially adopt, reclaim, or bring in a lost pet; it's just one more barrier removed for us to help pets find their home!” she added.

To celebrate the launch of Sunday hours, BrightSide Animal Center will host a Kickoff Celebration on Sunday, June 7th, inviting the community to stop by, meet adoptable animals, enjoy pet-related vendors and learn more about the programs and services available at the shelter.  

BrightSide Animal Center said it "extends its gratitude to the community for its ongoing support and looks forward to serving more families and more animals."
