Mars Global Adoption Weekend

Adopting a shelter pet is an act that changes two lives. It’s not just the pet’s life that gets better, but their owners too. 4.4 million cats and dogs in the U.S. are waiting in shelters* in need of a loving home and the opportunity to bring joy, comfort and connection to a human’s life.

As part of a commitment to end pet homelessness and find homes for the millions of pets waiting in shelters, Mars Global Adoption Weekend is returning for its 17th year in the U.S. and for the second year in a row globally. Following the success of last year, the event has expanded to more than 20 countries to help pets around the world.

In Nashville, between October 3-7th**, Mars and its family of pet care brands, as well as Adopt A Pet Shelter Plus and/or PEDIGREE Foundation, will cover adoption fees at local participating shelters and at Nashville Soccer Club’s Pup Cup adoption event at GEODIS Park, presented by Mars and supported by the PEDIGREE Foundation, on October 7. This 3rd annual event will be open to the public and feature a Blue vs. Gold adoptable puppy match, coached by Nashville Soccer Club players and hosted by MLS commentators.
