National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day is Saturday, April 30, and Pet Supermarket, a specialty pet supply retailer with over 200 stores across the U.S. Southeast, will once again hold its annual "Lend A Paw" fundraiser to support abandoned animals in need of food, shelter and veterinary care. During the fundraiser, visitors to all Pet Supermarket locations can contribute to the rescues and shelters in their communities by purchasing a $5 limited-edition bandana and showing off their pet’s style on social media with the hashtag #LendAPawForPets; providing a monetary donation of their choosing at checkout; or adopting an animal in need from their local Pet Supermarket at the storewide adoption event on Saturday, May 21. 

Proceeds from bandana sales and donations will be divided among 14 rescues and shelters in Pet Supermarket’s service areas, including Palmetto-based Southeastern Guide Dogs.  In the past year, Pet Supermarket has raised more than $750,000 for rescues, shelters and military service dogs.
