Ozaukee Humane Society Hosts Adopt-a-Thon
Shelter Animals to be at PetSmart September 11-13

Grafton, Wis. – Looking to add a new furry family member to your household? On Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12, the Ozaukee Humane Society is hosting an Adopt-a-Thon! In conjunction with the Wisconsin Humane Society’s 130th anniversary, the two shelters are hoping to place 130 animals in new homes over the weekend, so it's the perfect weekend to stop in and meet adoptable animals. Every adopter will go home with a free gift bag and a chance to win even bigger and better prizes!

In addition, on Friday, September 11 from 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, September 12-13 from 11:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., animals from the Ozaukee Humane Society will also be available for adoption at the PetSmart at 1030 N Port Washington Road in Grafton as part of PetSmart Charities® "Second Chance for Love" Fall Adoption Weekend. Visit petsmart.com for more details on their endeavor to help find homes for 18,800 animals nationwide this weekend.
