Adoption Mania sweeps the Metro during the Petco 50th Anniversary Celebration!
Petco Turns Fifty, Furkids Gets the Gifts!
Petco celebrated its 50th anniversary the weekend of October 3rd and 4th, and Furkids partied hearty! We held Mega Adoption Events at Petcos throughout Atlanta, and set our sights on 100 adoptions. Surprise! We blew our goal right out of the water. In total, 151 previously-homeless animals went home forever!
There's more good news. As part of their celebration, Petco awarded Furkids $100 for each adoption, if we closed more than 50. That translates to a $15,100 gift to Furkids - thanks so much, Petco!
Furkids staff and volunteers worked their tails off to send all those pets home. It was a wild and wonderful weekend. Many thanks to everyone who participated. And to Petco, here's to 50 more!
