Precious Pugs Rescue and Adoption has been chosen by Especially for Pets in Newton to partner in their program called Especially for Pets in the Community: The Adoption Initiative.

Especially for Pets, an independent pet supply retailer with six locations in Massachusetts, is committed to educating their customers and making a difference in their communities. Especially for Pets is dedicated to responsible pet care and their retail stores serve as venues for teaching and educating the public. As a company, they recognize their responsibility to contribute to the solution of the overwhelming problem of homeless and abandoned animals.

Last year, they instituted a new program called Especially for Pets in the Community: The Adoption Initiative. Especially for Pets has teamed up with local non-profits and rescue organizations to promote pets available for adoption as well as to raise awareness about the work being done in the rescue community. It is their ultimate goal to educate their customers about what the specific organizations do, to collect donations for their use and, ultimately to help the organizations to place homeless animals in permanent, loving homes. In 2006, they collected over $8000 in product and donations for local non-profits as a result of this program.

Each Especially for Pets store has partnered with a local non-profit from July 1 through December 31, 2007.  PPRA was chosen to partner with the Newton store. You can visit their stores to check out their Adoption Boards to see photos of the dogs available for adoption and/or pick up a copy of their ‘Wish List’ and make a donation to support the organizations of your choice.
