It’s going to be a labor of love as Petsmart Charities holds a 3-day National Adoption Week-end, September 12-14. During those three days, The Haven will join with more than 2,000 animal welfare organizations across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico who will participate at over 1,210 Petsmart stores to find lifelong, loving homes for more than 16,800 dogs, cats and small animals. In addition, for every pet adopted that week-end, the rescue organization will received $35 from Petsmart Charities. During that week-end, The Haven and other local rescue groups will be under a tent located at the Eastern Shore Shopping Plaza Petsmart from 12Noon to 3pm on Friday, and 11am to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.
“Adoptions save lives,” said Michael Graham, executive director for the no-kill animal shelter in Baldwin County. “It is wonderful to see all of the local rescue efforts working in concert together focusing on creating a day when euthanasia is no longer needed to control the pet overpopulation in Baldwin County.” The Haven is all about saving lives and will be onsite with MARU (Mobile Adoption Rescue Unit), loaded with the cutest dogs you will ever meet. If you’re looking for that next best friend, come to Petsmart that week-end where the Haven will most assuredly have the one for you.
The Haven feels they have the best adoption package in Baldwin County with all Haven animals up to date on all vaccinations, fixed, micro-chipped, de-wormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and tested for heartworms. In addition, all adopters will get FREE 30 days of pet insurance, a FREE training DVD, and a free bag of Hill’s Science Diet. The Haven will also offer FREE info on taking care of pets, and a FREE Maddie’s Activity book for the kids. At an adoption rate of $90 for dogs, this is a real bargain for anyone looking to add a pet to the family! For more information please visit havenforanimals.org or call 251.929.3980
