Some of the pets adopted included cats, dogs, ferrets and guinea pigs.
Officials at DAS say that they have extended the discounts on adoptions until December 31st because of the success the event has had.
"Even with 51 animals being placed into homes, there are still quite a few animals at the shelter, which is why we are extending the adoption promotion until the end of December,” Andrade added.
