From Tractor Supply Co.

If you’re a proud pet owner or would like to be, mark your calendars for Sept. 17 when the Tractor Supply Co. store in Washington will be celebrating furry friends for Pet Appreciation Week’s main event.

The main event will include pet adoptions with community groups, samples, giveaways, drawings for gift cards and other family-friendly activities. In addition, deals on pet products, from food and treats to toys and crates, will be featured from Sept. 14-18.

“Pet Appreciation Week is a time when our love for animals really shines,” said Wallace Davis, manager of the Washington Tractor Supply store. “It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate the love of pets, find great homes for local adoptable animals, and showcase the community partners and rescues who care for these animals year round.”

In addition to supporting community groups in their work to find good homes for dogs and cats, Pet Appreciation Week will help raise awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering pets and provide information on proper pet care and nutrition.

Pet Appreciation Week is open to the public — and all leashed, friendly pets — and will take place at Tractor Supply at 608 W. 15th St.

Several organizations will attend the main event, including 4health Resource Center, Pet Adoption and Pet Care 101 and Community Pet Food Bank. Community partners for this year’s Pet Appreciation Week include:
