ABC and its new hit series 'Will Trent' are celebrating National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day by promoting pet adoptions with a new PSA and by covering pet adoption fees from April 28-30 at select Best Friends Animal Society locations.

Animal lovers can spot a kindred spirit in character Will Trent from the things he does for his dog, Betty. In the first episode of Will Trent, ABC’s new crime drama, Will finds the tiny dog on the street, apparently abandoned, and can’t bring himself to leave her at a shelter, so he brings her home. Will ends up buying her special food, building a ramp so she can climb up onto the bed, and hiring a dog walker for her.

The storyline of a pet going from rescued to pampered is one that plays out in real life over and over, and it never gets old. And in honor of that, ABC/Will Trent are paying it forward to support pet adoption in a big way.

They are covering adoption fees at Best Friends pet adoption centers from Friday, April 28 through Sunday, April 30 for National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day.
