“Adoption is one of the key ways to save pets and end pet homelessness, not to mention enrich our own lives with a loving companion,” said Susana Della Maddalena, executive director of PetSmart Charities, Inc. “Thanks to generous donations from our wonderful supporters, PetSmart Charities funds hundreds of adoption events and awareness programs each year that help find homes for thousands of lovable and healthy pets.”
“We are excited to be part of PetSmart Charities’ National Adoption Weekend and have the opportunity to showcase our wonderful adoptable pets looking for their forever home,” said Dr. Rodrigo Silva, MCACC. “What better way to celebrate the Valentine’s Day season than by giving a deserving pet unconditional love?
Every year, PetSmart Charities and 2,000 local shelter and rescue agency partners host four National Adoption Weekends. During the 2011 National Adoption Weekends, more than 66,000 pets’ lives were saved across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
Your pet adoption will benefit these local shelters and rescue agencies, including Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC); each will receive $35 in adoption-reward grants from PetSmart Charities for every pet they adopt in stores during this three-day event.
Open daily and operated by the MCACC since February 2011, the in-store adoption center gives an additional 60 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens a better chance of finding a forever home in the Scottsdale area.
More than 2,000 animal welfare organizations in all of the 1,210 PetSmart stores in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico will participate in the National Adoption Weekend. These events are proudly sponsored by Purina® Pro Plan®, Tidy Cats® and PetSmart® in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and Purina® Pro Plan®, MAXX Scoop® and PetSmart® in Canada.
