Gelson’s Supermarket, 6255 E 2nd St., will co-host a Pet Adoption Day along with partners like West Coast Animal Rescue, Long Beach Spay and Neuter, Long Beach Animal Care Services, Friends of Long Beach Animals and Fix Long Beach on Sunday, April 13 from 11am to 3pm.
“We all are hoping for an even bigger turnout this time and will continue to hold regular adoption events at this store location,” said Jeff Stein from Gelson’s. “The animal community here is awesome.”
Gelson’s works with local animal-rescue groups to host adoption events at select locations. So far, they have helped find homes for more than 200 displaced pets, according to Gelson’s. Their pet partners also include: Amanda Foundation, Best Friends, Bill Foundation, The Forgotten Dog, DAWG of Santa Barbara, Pet Orphans, and Rescue Train.
The ultimate goal is to educate first-time and existing pet owners about the growing need to adopt and/or foster dogs and cats that need a second chance.
Gelson’s will supply free samples from their pet partners and give away reusable bags and store coupons with any donation to the pet-rescue cause.
