2022 National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day

Pet Supermarket encourages families to "Lend a Paw" for local rescues and shelters

By hosting its nationwide “Lend A Paw” fundraiser and adoption event, the pet supply retailer prepares to bring abandoned animals closer to loving homes

Posted

As National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day approaches on Saturday, April 30th, Pet Supermarket is continuing its commitment to local rescues and shelters.  From Friday, May 6, to Sunday, May 22, Pet Supermarket’s National Adopt a Shelter Pet Dayfundraiser gives pet parents the opportunity to support abandoned animals in need of food, shelter, and veterinary care.

During the fundraiser, visitors to all Pet Supermarket locations can contribute to the rescues and shelters in their communities by:

  • Purchasing a $5 limited-edition bandana and showing off their pet’s style on social media with the hashtag #LendAPawForPets
  • Providing a monetary donation of their choosing at checkout
  • Adopting an animal in need from their local Pet Supermarket at the storewide adoption event on Saturday, May 21
  • All proceeds from bandana sales and donations will be divided among 14 rescues and shelters into Pet Supermarket’s service areas.  They will be used to support animals like Granola, a puppy in the care of Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando that was treated for injuries sustained to his legs before finding his “furever” home.

“Donations from supporters allowed Granola to get the medical care he needed, including a medicine to treat a severe infection and regular veterinary checks to monitor his progress,” according to Pet Alliance.  “Without donations and support from companies like Pet Supermarket, Granola would not have been able to get the medical care needed to identify his medical needs and set him up for success.”

Additional recipient rescues and shelters include Florida Pointers Rescue (New Smyrna Beach, Florida), Gulf Coast Humane Society (Fort Myers, Florida), Humane Society of Greater Miami (North Miami Beach, Florida), Lucky Cat Adoptions (Fleming Island, Florida), Mission K9 Rescue (Needville, Texas), PAWsitive Supporters (Marietta, Georgia), Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League (West Palm Beach, Florida), Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando (Orlando, Florida), Pita & Pecan’s Animal Refuge (Hayden, Alabama), Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation (Fort Lauderdale, Florida), Stepping Stones Canine Rescue (Winston-Salem, North Carolina), Southeastern Guide Dogs (Palmetto, Florida) and Young-Williams Animal Center (Knoxville, Tennessee).

Through Pet Supermarket’s charitable giving initiatives, the retailer has raised over $750,000 in just the last year for rescues, shelters, and canine military heroes.

“Friendship and loyalty are the foundations that pets provide us,” said Jonathan Rodriguez, Pet Supermarket’s Senior Manager of Campaign Strategy and Creative Development.  “As an organization, Pet Supermarket is proud to return the favor to the pets in our communities by strengthening local rescues and shelters.”
