Pet Supplies Plus Hosts the 'Best Adoption Event Ever'
On May 18, 2025, Pet Supplies Plus will host its much-anticipated adoption event at the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre in Rochester Hills, Michigan. With a commitment to helping local shelter animals find loving homes, this family-friendly event promises not only pet adoptions but also a range of enjoyable activities for all ages.
Each year, between 4.6 and 6 million dogs and cats find themselves in shelters across the United States, yet only approximately 1 million of these animals are adopted. To address this disparity, Pet Supplies Plus, known as the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the country, is rallying community support to increase adoption rates at this event.
Event Details
The event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. and will feature 17 local shelters and rescue organizations from the Detroit area, each showcasing adoptable cats and dogs. This initiative is further supported by the exclusive presenting partner, Oakland University Credit Union, which underscores community collaboration in the mission of animal welfare.
Chris Rowland, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash, expressed his enthusiasm: "With nearly 80 pets finding homes at our 2024 adoption event, we are excited to build on that success and help even more shelter animals find their forever families. Our passion for pet adoption drives us to rally our community and make a meaningful difference."
Family Fun for Everyone
The event is cost-free, paving the way for families, including their furry friends, to enjoy a day filled with fun. Attendees can engage in various activities, including games, food trucks, live music, and pet-friendly activities. The presence of well-known veterinarian Dr. Marty Goldstein adds an educational component, as he will be giving tips and sharing insights on responsible pet ownership.
For car enthusiasts, a special treat awaits as the iconic Detroit Grand Prix Indy Car will be on display, providing unique photo opportunities.
Aiming for a Higher Adoption Goal
As part of Pet Supplies Plus's ongoing mission to raise awareness of the importance of pet adoption, the company aims to help find homes for 20,000 dogs and cats in 2025. Last year, their efforts contributed to 18,738 successful adoptions, a promising number they look to improve upon this year.
In addition to pet adoption efforts, Pet Supplies Plus offers a variety of services designed to support pet owners, including full-service grooming, self-serve pet wash stations, and bakeries stocked with fresh pet treats. As advocates for local shopping, their stores provide a vast selection of over 10,000 natural and made-in-the-USA products, ensuring every pet’s needs are met.
