Anytime I mention that I am heading to PetSmart, all three of my children rush out the door and into the car. This is one of our favorite places to visit, especially on the weekends when they host pet adoption days. This is a topic that is special to my heart because we have adopted two amazing pets from our local shelter. Something we have learned over the years is that there are so many simple ways for people to support their local pet shelters that isn’t expensive or time consuming.

Our family’s favorite way to help support our local pet shelters is by visiting PetSmart during their pet adoption days on the weekends. This is a day when many local pet shelters will bring their adoptable pets to the store in hopes to find their forever home. I spoke with a shelter representative once that informed us playing with the puppies is so important because it allows them to get use to people and being social. Well we did not need much convincing there and anytime we see puppies at the adoption events, my kids will get right in the play pen with the puppies. We make sure to do lots of handling and playing so that they can get use to being around people.

You may also notice there are money donation containers on the differentpet shelter tables… this is also a great way to support them if you can’t adopt. Many times there will be large boxes for you to fill with pet food and toy donations… another great way to support your local pet shelter!

While the main adoption days are Saturday and Sunday… PetSmart has a permanent adoption center inside the store where you can visit with the sweet and adorable cats that need homes. If you are interested in adopting one of the cats then the best day to do this is on the weekend so you can communicate with an adoption specialists… otherwise during the wee there is just contact information on the cats cages for you to call someone about adopting the cat.

If you interested in volunteering at your local pet shelter then please reach out to them so you can find the best way to give your time to these deserving pets!

If you follow me on Instagram then you already know that I am a huge advocate for pet adoption and flood my page with pictures of our dog Duke that we rescued. Very rarely do I get to share pictures of our shy and timid cat named penguin that we rescued three years ago from the same local pet shelter.

  1. When I born my first baby, I was concern about my dog Aggy. How she meets with my baby, how she takes it?? But when she see my baby for the first time, she was so glad and it was a pleasant time for me. Trust me. I really love Aggy and my baby.
