Petsmart is no longer having Adoption Day
Petsmart, one of the largest pet retailers in the United States, has announced that it will no longer be hosting Adoption Day events at its stores. This news comes as a surprise to many pet lovers who have come to rely on Petsmart as a source for adoptable animals.
Petsmart has been hosting Adoption Day events for years, partnering with local shelters and rescue groups to bring adoptable animals into its stores for potential adopters to meet. These events have been credited with helping to find homes for thousands of animals. However, Petsmart has now decided to end this program.
The company has not given a specific reason for this decision, but it is likely due to the increasing number of pets that are being adopted from shelters and rescue groups without the need for Adoption Day events. With more people becoming aware of the benefits of adoption and the availability of adoptable animals online, there is simply less need for these in-store events.
This is disappointing news for those who have come to rely on Petsmart as a source for adoptable animals, but it is important to remember that there are still many other ways to find a furry friend in need of a home.
