Petco\u00a0is already devoted to holding weekend adoption events on a regular basis, but they wanted to use the reunion as a way to celebrate\u00a0forever homes pets have found, give some great gifts away, and encourage new adoptions. Please check with your local store for exact times, details and offers.<\/p>\n<p>The overall message of the video is to increase pet adoptions, not just dogs, but cats\u00a0 too and it also shares the positive message of the health and emotional benefits that pets bring into our lives. I love that message and one does not need a special month dedicated to the cause to understand the value and sentiment of this video year long.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"460\" height=\"259\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ieHv-6UUftc?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>I know from my growing network of friends, that many of you have gotten pets through adoption drives such as Petco and understand just how wonderful it is for services like this to be provided to the public. I shared the news that my brother and his family adopted an adult cat from Petco several months ago and if you have gotten a pet this way, I would love for you to leave a comment to share your story. I also encourage everyone to share this video \u2013 let\u2019s get as many people as we can this weekend to go to Petco and adopt a dog, cat, or both!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the seasons begin to change and we enter the month of October, we find that this is a time of awareness on many different levels.
