Virtual Pet Adoption Fair Underway In CA
Concord-based Pet Food Express looks forward to this yearly as a "critically important part of its mission to create lasting change."
CONCORD, CA—Pet Food Express, a Concord, Bay Area-based retailer and partner in pet health, has launched its 14th annual virtual Pet Fair to help thousands of rescue animals find new homes across California.
More than 120 rescues and shelters have partnered with Pet Food Express to host virtual and in-person adoption events throughout September across over 68 participating stores in California.
Local Pet Food Express stores are also hosting family- and pet-friendly activities like pet caricatures, puppy/kitten yoga, and a reunion party for adoptions from previous years. See the full schedule of 380+ events taking place virtually and in-store.
The month-long event builds on last year’s successful virtual fair which saw:
- More than 8,400 animals found their forever homes
- Over $211,075 in donations, with Pet Food Express donating $25 for every eligible adoption to partnering shelters and rescues
- Animal lovers seeking to make a loving adoption can use the “Find a Friend” search tool and filter by location, species or even age as they scroll through and learn about adoptable animals from over 120 California-based shelters and rescues.
Throughout September, Pet Food Express donates an additional $20 to local shelter and rescue organizations once customers register with Pet Food Express. Customers receive a gift for every registration on top of their 20 percent coupon.
The virtual Pet Fair is live at Petfood.express/petfair/.
Since Sept. 1, more than 280 pets have already found furrever homes.
“We look forward to this moment every year," said Denyelle Bruno, CEO of Pet Food Express. "It’s not just an event but a critically important part of our mission to create lasting change. Every adoption represents a life saved and a family made whole. The Fair brings together communities, shelters, and pet lovers in a powerful way, amplifying our collective impact. It's a celebration of compassion, and we’re proud to help thousands of animals find their forever homes, proving that every pet deserves a chance at love and happiness."
In addition to all the local rescue organizations and animal shelters, Pet Food Express thanked Pet Fair partners JustFoodForDogs, Nulo, Stella & Chewy’s, Open Farm, Vital Essentials and BIXBI.
