PETstock National Pet Adoption Day 2019. (Sydney) Saturday 9th February
PETstock Assist in partnership with not-for-profit charity PetRescue will be running its 5th annual National Pet Adoption Day in February to help find forever homes for pets all over Australia. The Adoption day will run on Saturday 9th of February 2019 from 10am to 2pm (10am-3pm in Western Australia), in more than 135 PETstock stores around the country. Last year’s campaign saw 520 pets find loving homes. Yet, there is still more work to do, with an estimated 200,000 pets living unclaimed in Australian shelters and pounds across Australia. In 2019, PETstock hopes to outmatch last year’s adoption numbers and find even more healthy, happy pets forever homes.
The National Pet Adoption Day is a great opportunity to remind those that are looking to add a new member to their family, that they should adopt, not buy a pet this year and help an animal in need.
Dating with Dogs (The Old Canberra Inn, 195 Mouat Street, Lyneham) Sunday 10th February
There is a reason that there are so many photos of dogs on Tinder - who doesn't love a cute puppy? They're easy to swoon over and if you have nothing to talk about at least you can talk about them.
But what if the dog was right there, being your awesome wingman?
That's precisely what Dating with Dogs is all about! As featured on Channel 7's Sunrise, Dating with Dogs is a sure fire way to make a connection and meet some fellow dog-lovers in a fun and flirty atmosphere. Bring your own dog and find a Lady and the Tramp type love connection, or come dateless and dog-less for a chance to get offline and pat some dogs.
You may even get some heavy petting with the owners if you play your cards right!
