Could you consider adopting a pet this Global Adoption Weekend (October 3-5)? Mars, one of the world’s leading pet food companies, is supporting shelters across the UK – including Battersea Dogs & Cats Home – to help hundreds of pets find forever homes with loving families.
More than 139,000 cats and dogs are currently in UK shelters. And, with 87% of UK owners saying pets boost their well-being, Mars says it is on a mission to connect more people with the joy of adoption, which can change two lives—the pet’s and the pet owner’s.
Would you be interested in taking home Noodle, the sensitive Greyhound? Or, Duchess, a joyful Pomeranian from shelters like Battersea, Mayhew, Raystede, Leicester Animal Aid, Manchester Dogs’ Home, Edinburgh Dogs and Cats Home, and Woodgreen?
Or perhaps you would be overjoyed by the thought of introducing Du Plessis, a friendly two-year-old tabby who loves cuddles, into your family? Maybe you'll become smitten with Hercules, a sweet older cat looking for a nice and quiet, adult-only forever home.
To support anyone who is considering becoming a new pet parent this Global Adoption Weekend, Mars is offering adoption boxes and a three-month Calm subscription to help navigate the early days of pet parenthood. Below is a look at just eleven of the hundreds of pets who need a loving, forever home.
