Rescue Pets of Florida holds event during PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week
Rescue Pets of Florida has partnered with PetSmart Charities to bring adoptable pets to Brandon, Plant City, St. Petersburg, Valrico and Wesley Chapel PetSmart stores in support of National Adoption Week, taking place from Feb. 28 to March 6.
During the in-store event, Rescue Pets of Florida encourages potential pet parents to stop by and meet some of the adoptable pets in their area. Opportunities will be provided for individuals to spend time with animals that are in need of loving homes in a spacious and comfortable area for all. Staff and volunteers will also be present to provide additional information regarding pet ownership and care to prospective adopters.
You can view all available pets for adoption at the Rescue Pets of Florida Facebook page.
“National Adoption Week is an ideal opportunity to give a pet what they need most – people to love,” Adoptions Grant Manager at PetSmart Charities Heidi Fulcher said.. “Over the years, together with local partners such as Rescue Pets of Florida, we’ve matched more than 9.5 million pets with loving homes. Most pet parents say their pets are important family members that enhance their lives, too. That’s a win-win!”
Adoptable pets will be available at Plant City’s PetSmart, 211 W. Alexander St. Unit A Plant City, FL 33563, on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Rescue Pets of Florida is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that works in conjunction with PetSmart and local shelters to help find loving homes for abandoned and homeless cats, kittens, dogs and puppies. Their mission is to rescue, vaccinate, spay or neuter and find loving adoptive homes for these animals, in addition to increasing public awareness regarding the companion animal overpopulation issue and provide solutions to end the killing of adoptable animals in the Tampa Bay Area and beyond.
