BURLINGTON, N.C. — In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Always Best Care of Burlington, in partnership with Brookdale Burlington and Jan’s Pet Rescue, will host a free pet adoption event for local seniors from 11am-4pm on Nov. 2, 2018, at Brookdale Burlington located at 3615 S. Mebane St. Burlington, NC 27215. The senior care agency plans to cover all qualifying adoption fees up to 10 adoptions for all pets adopted by seniors 65 and older during this time. Refreshments will be served during the event.
“In our local community there are so many shelter dogs and cats in need of loving homes, and we’ve found that the seniors we care for experience immeasurable benefits from pet ownership,” said Joanne Pizzuto, Always Best Care of Burlington franchisee. “Studies continue to prove that pet ownership helps lower stress levels, blood pressure and depression. By teaming up with Brookdale and Jan’s Pet Rescue, we plan to cover pet adoption fees in an effort to combat the ongoing issue of depression in Americans over the age of 65. We’re excited to help connect seniors and their loved ones with pets in need of a home.”
