It’s National Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet Week!

🐾💙 It’s National Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet Week! 💙🐾

Every year during the third week of September, we shine a light on pets who are often overlooked simply because they’re not considered “perfect.” Whether they’re older, have special needs, or just don’t fit the “typical” picture, these animals are just as sweet, loving, and deserving of a forever home as any other pet. 🐶🐱

This week, let’s celebrate by opening our hearts and supporting our local shelters and rescues. You never know – your new best friend might be waiting there for you! 🐾✨

Visit these local pet shelters this week and help give a “less-adoptable” pet the loving home they deserve.
