Other Events<\/p>\n
Don’t worry if there’s no time to visit adoptable dogs and cats in July. PetSmart hosts four adoption weeks each year, so there’s always a chance to stop by in the future, staff from the Natomas location said.<\/p>\n
“Give a pet in need the loving home they deserve,” PetSmart said regarding people considering adopting an animal. “Meet your new bestie at PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week.”<\/p>\n
