Petsmart Charities' National Pet Adoption Weekend:

February 28 - March 1, 2020

 

Adopt don't shop for a pet and bring love homePetsmart Charities National Pet Adoption Weekend is this weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina and every where else around the country and Canada, for that matter. Some 1,600 stores will be participating in National Pet Adoption Weekend, the first of four planned adoption weekends in 2020. Did you know that each of these adoption weekends result in some 25,000 pets being adopted?

 

If you've been thinking about adopting a cat or a dog (or maybe one of or more of each), this is the weekend to do it and to Bring Love Home. Animal welfare organizations will be on site at many PetSmart stores in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. They'll make it easy for you to find your purrfect fur-ever companion(s). 

 

 

  

 

Since 1994, 9 MILLION pets have found their fur-ever homes thanks to this great effort by PetSmart Charities. In fact, each of these pet adoption weekends that PetSmart sponsors generate tens of thousands of adoptions. Since 1994 PetSmart Charities have contributed over $414 Million in various grants to help communities save pet lives and reduce pet over-population. Today, 2 out of every 10 pet adoptions in North America are through PetSmart Charities and PetSmart has adoption centers in virtually all of their 1,600 stores. PetSmart Charities are ranked in the top 1% of charities nationwide, with over 90 cents of each dollar donated going to their cause. How awesome is all that?

HI Nina- I agree with what George Souto said...you do a wonderful job of promoting pet adoption!!!!   I just got off the phone with someone who was telling me about the stray starving dog who came up to her front porch. The dog put her head on her husband's lap and sighed. Thankfully, they adopted the dog.

Michael J. Perry hi Michael... PetSmart always manages to adopt out a lot of dogs and cats on these weekends... sadly the the shelters fill up almost as quickly as they are emptied out.
