This Saturday, the Nevada SPCA is hosting a special adoption event for senior citizens.
Seniors (ages 60 and over) will have the opportunity to adopt a furry companion with no adoption fee at the 'Senior Saturday Adoption Event.'
According to organizers from the Nevada SPCA, having a pet is known to improve mental and physical well-being, as well as encourage an active lifestyle.
"Pets are known to improve mental and physical well-being," shares organizers from the Nevada SPCA.
"We are thrilled to offer this event, senior citizens often face challenges when it comes to finding companionship, and we're honored to help them find a loving pet that can enrich their lives," shares Lori Heeren, executive director of Nevada SPCA. "This event is not only a chance to give pet in need a second chance, but it also allows us to give back to our senior community."
The event is open to all seniors (aged 60 and over) from 10am to 6pm on July 19 at 5375 Procyon Street, Suite 108.
