June 5, 2020 — June 7, 2020: ASPCA’s National Adoption Weekend Campaign
The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has launched a nationwide adoption event to help more cats, dogs and equines find loving homes during the COVID-19 crisis. To participate in the campaign, potential adopters should visit ASPCA.org/AdoptFromHome to find a local animal shelter or rescue group and search for available animals near them. VCA Animal Hospitals is providing all adopters through the ASPCA National Adoption Weekend a free Healthy Start exam and up to $250 to treat any minor illness at any of their hospitals for the first 14 days of the adoption. In addition, PetSmart and Petco are offering complimentary adoption kits, which include a free bag of pet food and hundreds of dollars in coupon savings for toys, supplies and preventative medications—as well as services including professional grooming, training and boarding. Available shelter pets will get extra support from the Shelter Pet Project, which is supporting the campaign by promoting them all weekend across their social media channels. For more info, visit ASPCA.org/AdoptFromHome. The ASPCA is asking all animal lovers to share adoptable dogs, cats and horses on their social media channels using the hashtag #AdoptFromHome.
