The 68th Shanghai Pet Adoption Day will be held at Huajing Tianjie Outdoor Plaza on Saturday, with 32 cats and 21 dogs looking for their forever homes.
Shanghai Adoption Day is a platform dedicated to promoting fashionable and charitable pet adoption. They advocate “caring for stray animals and adopting instead of buying” and organize fashionable and fun adoption activities to help more stray animals find loving homes.
During the event, veterinarians from Pet Love International Animal Hospital will be on hand to provide free consultations to pet owners. In addition, all proceeds from on-site sales will be donated to the charity projects of Shanghai Adoption Day.
The adoption process begins with an initial interaction with the potential furry housemates, discussing their history and needs with rescue staff.
Prospective adopters are required to fill out an adoption application and wait for a 7-10 day screening period. If they meet the basic criteria during the initial review, rescue workers will continue to communicate via WeChat to guide them through the subsequent adoption process.
Shanghai Adoption Day also offers a series of public welfare initiatives, including “Stray Animal TNR” (Trap-Neuter-Return), “Urban Stray Animal Photography Exhibition”, “Halfway Home”, “University TNR Alliance”, “Online Adoption”, “Adoption Live Streams”, “and Pet Clinics”.
With more than 200 different offline events over the past six years, Shanghai Adoption Day has helped thousands of stray animals find their forever homes and get a fresh start in life.
“Our heartfelt wish is to ‘adopt, don’t buy, and give them a home’,” said the organizer.
