The Pet Placement Center is teaming up with Coldwell Banker Real Estate and Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption web site, this weekend for the first-ever Homes for Dogs National Pet Adoption Weekend. This nationwide event is part of the “Homes for Dogs Project,” a national campaign hosted by Adopt-a-Pet.com and Coldwell Banker, which aims to find homes for 20,000 adoptable dogs in 2015.
To help reach this goal, shelters and rescue groups in the Adopt-a-Pet.com network, along with local Coldwell Banker offices across the United States, are joining forces for one of the largest adoption events of the year.
The Pet Placement Center will be hosting its event on Saturday and Sunday at 5975 Dayton Blvd. during the hours of noon-5 p.m.
“We couldn’t be more excited to take part in this national movement to find homes for dogs,” said Kristin Stanford, manager at The Pet Placement Center. “We know this nationwide event will help draw attention to the thousands of adoptable pets in need of homes and truly make an impact on the Chattanooga community.”
“With more than 43 million U.S. households having dogs, there is no question that our pets go hand-in-hand with our love of home,” said Sean Blankenship, chief marketing officer for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. “We are proud to partner with Adopt-a-Pet.com on this inspiring campaign.”
Coldwell Banker launched the “Homes for Dogs Project” earlier this year with the brand’s national television commercial, “Home’s Best Friend,” which aired on the 87th Academy Awards on Feb. 22.
