Animal shelter event at Chandler Walmart on Saturday

Posted

Walmart is collaborating with the organization Best Friends Animal Society for a pet adoption event Saturday, May 17, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Best Friends shelter partner Maricopa Animal Care and Control will bring nearly 20 pets looking for love to the Chandler Walmart Supercenter at 1175 S. Arizona Avenue, between Pecos Road and Loop 202, according to a news release. 

All pet adoption fees will be waived at the event.

To provide attendees with an immersive experience to meet potential new family members, event spaces will be specially designed with furniture, turfed yards and home decor. The event will also feature giveaways and sampling opportunities from pet brands and new adopters will take home goodie bags filled with essential products.  

Consuelo Murgo is a Walmart associate who found her new best friend, Jupiter, when Walmart hosted an adoption event for its new pet center in Chandler last October, according to the release.

Since then, Jupiter has settled into his happy home and Consuelo has discovered how happy a home can be with a pet, it states. 

The Arizona Avenue  Walmart Pet Center event is the only one happening in Arizona on Saturday.  Other Walmarts hosting events May 17 are in Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Salt Lake City.
