Pet Adoption Event Is Saturday

St. Charles County – If you’re seeking to add a cuddly pet to your household this holiday, look no further than the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center. Situated at 4850 Mid Rivers Mall Dr., in St. Peters, the center will host its annual Holiday Pet Adoption Event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 17, where you can interact with dogs or cats to find the “purr-fect” pal.

In addition to consultations and on-site adoptions, the event’s activities will provide counseling that prepares you and your family for your new pet. An experienced animal trainer will offer tips to make the transition process less stressful and will provide information to make you a better caregiver. Those who adopt a pet during the Holiday Event will receive a gift from the Pet Adoption Center, and Santa Claus will be available for photos with your new pet.

The Pet Adoption Center has served the residents and animal populations of this County for more than a decade, successfully placing more than 25,000 pets into loving homes.

All pets placed by the Pet Adoption Center undergo a thorough health exam and receive their initial vaccinations. They are also micro-chipped for identification and are spayed or neutered.
