St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center brings adoptable pets in need of loving homes during PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week
To celebrate 30 years of adoptions, PetSmart Charities encourages pet lovers to make room in their hearts and homes and visit in-store events March 18 – 24.

PetSmart Charities is celebrating its 30th anniversary and encourages people to consider finding room in their hearts and homes for a new family member.

“PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week can be the perfect chance to give a pet in need what they need most – people to love,” said Heidi Marston, director of pet placement at PetSmart Charities. “With so many shelters across the nation struggling to keep pace with the number of animals in need of care, adopting a new pet makes an impact on the health of your community, too.
PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week is a special time during the year. PetSmart stores feature adoptable pets to meet and cuddle in spacious areas, and staff and volunteers are on-hand to make introductions and answer questions. Potential pet parents can also learn about the products and services they’ll need for the best possible start with their new family members.
“St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center is thrilled to partner with PetSmart Charities as part of National Adoption Week,” said Laura Linneman, director of animal care at St. Hubert’s. “So many animals are waiting for their perfect match, and events such as this one help them find their forever homes. We are truly grateful to PetSmart Charities for all it does to support pets and the people who love them.”
