Helping homeless pets is easier than you know
Walmart is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets, and we’re absolutely thrilled to be working with them to celebrate National Pet Month. We’ll be kicking off the festivities with “Give Love. Save Lives.” adoption events taking place at Walmart locations across 20 cities in May.
Finding your new best friend has never been easier. Adoption fees will be waived all month long at Best Friends Pet Adoption Centers. But that’s not all: Thanks to our network partners, adoption fees will also be covered at all 20 locations for the “Give Love. Save Lives.” events.
And the impact doesn’t stop there. Participating pet supply brands at Walmart are also stepping up to support homeless pets. Throughout May, Walmart is helping to build a brighter future for homeless dogs and cats across America — and that’s a win for everyone.
