Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week
Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week is held on September 20. Last Full Week in September. This event in the second decade of the month September is annual.
Recent surveys conducted by Petfinder.com revealed interesting statistics about the adoption rates of those animals considered “less adoptable.” A whopping 95% of rescues surveyed currently have pets they would define as “hard to adopt”, 33% of shelters say they've had pets posted on their sites for one to two years.
Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet Week is celebrated each year in the third week of September. Pets are our friends, and they give so much meaning to our lives. In 2009, Petfinder established Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week to raise awareness of the need to recognize and adopt pets that seem to be frequently overlooked.
