Petco stores will be hosting National
Adoption Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 20-21, around the U.S.
The event, part of the chain's Think Adoption First program, will have adoptable pets on site, and offer patrons the opportunity to learn about area animal shelters and inquire about the best ways to care for a new pet.
The weekend is sponsored by Nutro Natural Choice, a maker of premium natural cat and dog food. The company will provide product demonstrations at the stores, and will offer coupons, vaccination charts and brochures to those adopting at the Petco event.
