Pet lovers in Cochrane will have a chance to meet their new best friend this weekend during a special adoption event at PetSmart Cochrane, part of National Adoption Week.
The store is partnering with the Cochrane & Area Humane Society for a two-day event featuring adoptable animals, family activities, and even a special mascot appearance.
“We’ve asked them to bring as many animals as they possibly can,” says Crystal Chandra, store leader at PetSmart Cochrane. “We want to give these animals every opportunity to find a loving home.”
The adoption event runs Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with Humane Society staff on site to answer questions about the animals and the adoption process.
To make the weekend even more fun for families, PetSmart is bringing in face painters and their popular mascot, Chance the Dog — a friendly mutt who’s become a fan favourite at adoption events.
“We love seeing the community come together for these events,” Chandra adds. “It’s about finding homes for pets, but it’s also about creating connections and supporting our local humane society.”
