Pet Connection Week surpasses pet adoption goals

Member Center:

Posted:

We had an absolutely tremendous Pet Connection Week. It was amazing to see how many pets we helped get adopted before the holidays. To say it was a success was an understatement. Thank you for letting me do this. We did make a difference in hundreds of pets lives and brought much happiness to families. I received dozens of e-mails and Facebook postings telling us it was awesome.

The total was 470 Adoptions (original goal was 360), including 359 cats, 102 dogs, 8 rabbits, and 1 bird.

Pet Connection will donate $23,500 in Adoptions fees to the 8 shelters listed below.
