Pets and Seniors, Purr-fect Together

March 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Studies show that pets help senior owners live longer, more enjoyable, healthier lives.  They help lower blood pressure, reduce the amount of medication needed in some situations and prevent depression.

Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter wishes to support senior pet ownership and is pleased to announce our Pets for Seniors Weekend,  April 29th-May 1st, 2011.  Thanks to our partnership with the Purina Pets for Seniors program, adopters age 62 plus,  who adopt a cat or dog over the age of 2 that weekend, will receive numerous special benefits.

Upon presenting proof of senior status, the senior will receive their pet adoption fee at 1/2 off, a substantial savings.   They will also go home with a welcome package from Purina and Mt. Pleasant which may contain food coupons, litter pan, leash,  toys and other items to help start the owner/pet relationship off on the right paw.  All animals are vet checked, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption.  

The Shelter will be open on Friday, April 29th from noon till 4, and then on Saturday and Sunday, April 30 and May 1, from noon till 5pm.   This special offer is limited to the first ten senior adopters so please stop in early.  Mt. Pleasant reserves the right to deny any adoption application.

Available animals may be previewed on our website www.njshelter.org.   Many wonderful pets are waiting for good homes.
