Nationals Pitcher Max Scherzer and Wife Erica Sponsor Pet Adoption Fees

-

Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer and his wife Erica Scherzer, a board member of Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA), are funding the adoption fees for 11 animals that have been residents at HRA’s facilities the longest.

HRA, a District-based no-kill animal shelter, made the announcement through a press release.

“Max and I know this year and holiday season have been particularly challenging for many community members, and we hope covering the fees for these special animals will help even more people discover the benefits of the human-animal bond,” Erica Scherzer was quoted as saying in the release.

“This is an extremely generous endeavor by Erica and Max,” said Stephanie Shain, executive vice president and chief operating officer at HRA. “By allowing us to provide fee-waived adoptions, we hope to help these animals start 2021 off right – in a home with a family of their own.”

The Scherzers’ sponsorship for the adoption fees will be through December 31, and valid for the following animals:

Michelle (turtle)
Speedy (turtle)
Delfina (dog)
Lexy (cat)
Linus (cat)
Ethel (cat)
Beluga (rabbit)
Whitey (cat)
Oksana (cat)
Bean (dog)
Precious, (dog)

Remember that HRA will be closed for adoptions on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
