National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day

Anthony D

April 30 is National Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet Day. This day was developed to raise awareness for thousands of shelter pets waiting for adoption. The ASPCA estimates that 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. shelters annually. The 24/7 Local Pest Control family is passionate about rescues (see this article about 24/7 Local Pest Control of Wayne and their relationship with local shelters), so we wanted to spotlight some business staff members who saved their furbabies.

8 years ago my then fiance and I decided to get a dog and knew we wanted to rescue because of all the great animals who needed homes. I was at work on a Friday afternoon scrolling through pictures at the shelter when I saw this girl’s face. The next morning I had him driving us downtown to pick her up. I had no other explanation other than she was meant to be mine. She has been my best girl ever since and is now her human brother’s best companion (most of the time). Our Lilly has the quirkiest personality and we love her so much. ~ Julie Green, Marketing Manager

If you have a rescued baby you want to keep protected this year, don’t forget our services take care of fleas and ticks too. Always follow your veterinarian’s recommendations for flea and tick preventative medicines, but we can be an added layer of defence in your backyard. Thanks for reading about our fur kiddos, we’d love to hear about yours! Buzz in and share our pictures on our Facebook page! And of course, if you’re thinking of adding to your family with a feline or dog companion, always consider adopting!
