PETstock Assist’s National Pet Adoption Month

Every year 80,000 urban stray cats are killed by councils (source) as a way of managing unowned animals. The euthanisation of cats has proven to be pointless, as the remaining cats produce larger, healthier litters due to less food competition.

With cats dominating the adoption landscape, closely followed by large dogs and bonded pairs, PETstock Assist is encouraging would-be pet owners to Adopt Different - to adopt animals who are most in need.

PETstock Assist’s National Pet Adoption Month will take place in March 2022, with an adoption day being held at selected stores across ACT (including PETstock's flagship store in Fyshwick) on Saturday 19 March.

Local partner rescue groups will be available for expert advice through any PETstock store, with rescue pets available for adoption or fostering at selected stores across the state.

PETstock Assist’s National Pet Adoption Month aims to educate and raise awareness of pet adoption and foster care placement throughout the month of March. The initiative hopes to encourage all Australians considering a new pet in 2022 to consider fostering or adopting a rescue pet in need of a loving home.
