Always Best Care of The Woodlands Hosts Free Pet Adoption Event

In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Always Best Care of the Woodlands, in partnership with PetSmart, Montgomery County Animal Shelter and Texas Litter Control, will host a free pet adoption event for local seniors from 12-4 p.m. on Oct. 21, 2018, at the PetSmart located at 19075 Interstate 45, South Shenandoah, TX 77385. The partnering agencies plan to cover all qualifying adoption fees for dogs adopted by seniors 65 and older. The agencies will also cover a portion of adoption fees for all ages, including $40 for dogs and $25 for cats. PetSmart will be providing a free adoption coupon booklet that will include a free bag of food, free canned food, money off grooming and boarding services as well as much more.

“In our local community there are so many shelter dogs and cats in need of loving homes, and we’ve found that the seniors we care for experience immeasurable benefits from pet ownership,” said Maggie Fontenot, Always Best Care of the Woodlands Event Coordinator. “Studies continue to prove that pet ownership helps lower stress levels, blood pressure and depression. By teaming up with PetSmart, Montgomery County Animal Shelter & Texas Litter Control, we plan to cover adoption fees for dogs in an effort to combat the ongoing issue of depression in Americans over the age of 65. We're excited to help connect seniors and their loved ones with pets in need of a home.”
