As Critical Need for Pet Adoption Continues to
Rise, Leading Pet Retailer Invites Neighbors to Family-Friendly
Event with Adoptable Dogs and Cats
LIVONIA,
Mich., May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With an
estimated 6.3 million animals being surrendered to shelters
annually, there arises a vital necessity for a surge in pet
adoption. In response to this pressing concern, Pet Supplies Plus,
the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the United States, has announced its third
annual, family-friendly, 'Paws, Pals, and Pet Supplies Plus'
adoption event.
With live music, refreshments, and swag, the free event will
take place at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on Saturday, May 18, from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. Oakland
University Credit Union is the exclusive presenting partner
of Meadow Brook Amphitheatre.
Centered on support for rescue groups and their adoptable
animals, over 20 shelters and rescues from the metro Detroit area will showcase dogs and cats
available for adoption on-site. While numerous pets may find their
forever homes on the same day, adoption availability may differ
among shelters.
"Reflecting on last year's success helping over 80 animals find
their forever homes, we're thrilled to continue our tradition,"
said Chris Rowland, Chief
Executive Officer of Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash. "At Pet
Supplies Plus, we're not just pet lovers; we're pet advocates,
striving to create a world where every animal is treated with the
love, respect, and the care they deserve. We welcome all of our
neighbors who are eager to open their hearts and homes to a furry
companion to join us at this special event."
Free pet giveaways, including dog and cat treats, plush dog
toys, and frisbees, will be available from event sponsors including
Purina, Stella & Chewy, and Merrick. Attendees will also have
the opportunity to stuff a KONG and donate it to a local shelter
on-site.
With a mission of creating more awareness on the value and need
for pet adoption, Pet Supplies Plus, and its emerging sister brand,
Wag N Wash, recently launched a nationwide initiative to help
15,000 dogs and cats get adopted in 2024. Combined, the brands have
helped more than 3800 pets find their forever homes year to
date.
