The Humane Society of Utah will host its first "Empty the Cages" Adopt-a-Thon this weekend.
This event will continue through Sunday at 4242 S. 300 West, during business hours. Hours are today from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
HSU Executive Director Gene Baierschmidt said the purpose of the event is to get more of the shelter's healthy animals into good new homes than are currently being adopted.
Last year the Humane Society of Utah adopted out more than 6,000 pets to caring homes and wants to exceed that number in 2004.
