The Tractor Supply Co. store in Plant City will host activities for families and their pets, including pet adoptions, Saturday, Sept. 19, as part of Pet Appreciation Week. Held Sept. 16 to 20, Pet Appreciation Week or P.A.W. is Tractor Supply’s annual event to celebrate pet owners and their furry friends.
“Pet ownership is exciting and has a lot of emotional and physical benefits, but it also bears responsibility, too,” David Holland, manager of the Plant City Tractor Supply store, said. “Pet Appreciation Week gives us an opportunity to partner with incredible organizations and talk with families about the joy of owning pets, while also providing them with the tools they need to do it right.”
As part of the main event Sept. 19, Tractor Supply will feature pet adoptions, demonstrations on pet nutrition, drawings for $200 worth of gift cards and giveaways, including a tennis ball and pet food mats while supplies last.
All Pet Appreciation Week events are open to the public and will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Tractor Supply at 1803 Jim Redman Parkway in Plant City.
In addition to finding good homes for dogs and cats, Saturday’s adoption events will also raise awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering pets and provide information on proper pet care and nutrition.
Several activities will take place during the main event, including pet adoption, bake sale, dog wash and cook out.
