This weekend, you could take your new best friend home free of charge.
Those who have been considering adding a pet may want to consider Best Friends Animal Society. The Atlanta location of the nonprofit is participating in a free adoption event Dec. 10-12.
“Whatever life has in store, having a pet makes everything better. Pets provide constant companionship while drastically reducing stress, which many of us can really appreciate these days,” Julie Castle, CEO at Best Friends Animal Society, said in a press release. “The holidays are a great time to adopt and thanks to MINI, we hope to get a record number of dogs and cats into loving homes this season.”
MINI USA is sponsoring adoption fees at locations of Best Friends during the weekend to help people become new pet adopters. Locally, residents can stop by 1692 Oak Street SE in Marietta Saturday, Dec. 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There, they can meet adoptable pets in person.
“All pets from Best Friends are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, so it’s really fantastic to be able to save the adoption fee, as well, to put towards pet supplies for your new best friend,” Castle said.
Best Friends Animal Society began in 1984 in Utah. It operates the largest sanctuary for homeless animals in the country.
It works with Atlanta-area shelters, animal welfare organizations and individuals to save pets in shelters across the region and the country. It also offers adoption, spay/neuter and educational programs. It aims to achieve nationwide no-kill shelter status by 2025.
MINI has partnered with Best Friends since 2014 to support shelters and animal welfare organizations with giving pets homes.
“Everyone at Best Friends is so grateful to MINI USA for helping us with our drive to adopt more dogs and cats into new homes,” Castle said. “Their generous sponsorship will result in a lifetime of love for many people and pets.”
