Many places are offering last minutes deals right before Christmas, and that includes the Marion County animal shelter.          

Lots of children are probably hoping for a pet this Christmas, and Marion County Animal Service workers say their animals are dreaming of a good home.

From now until Christmas they are offering both cats and dogs over the age of 1 for just $25.

The adoption fee includes the pet’s spay/neuter surgery, county license, rabies vaccine and microchip.
