Petsense by Tractor Supply has set a goal of 1,200 adoptions for this fall’s event. Since 2005, Petsense has supported more than 223,000 pet adoptions through its in-store Sav-A-Pet centers and nationwide adoption events. This year’s event is supported by pet care brands including Champion, Stella & Chewy’s, Tomlyn/Vetoquinol, Frontline, Fromm, Petmate and Purina.

We want every new pet parent to leave with the support, guidance and savings they need, on adoption day and every day after.”
