    A state Assemblyman in California has proposed letting residents who adopt a pet from a shelter write off any adoption fees on their taxes.
    “Local governments in California are spending upward of $100 million sheltering animals each year,” Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, R-Santa Clarita, said in a news release. “Everyday we hear about people walking away from their houses, and in many cases, they are abandoning their pets as well.”
    The deductions, according to NBC News in Los Angeles, would be allowed for animals adopted from local government and nonprofit animal shelters. If passed, the plan would begin at the start of next year and be on the books through Jan. 1, 2015.
