Epping: Fewer dog days ahead as pets find a home

An Epping pet shop is doing its bit to stamp out animal homelessness by taking part in this year’s pet adoption day.

Pet Stock staff will set up an information stall inside the shop on Saturday, February 7, for local pet crusaders Happy Tails Rescue and two abandoned dogs currently up for adoption.

Store manager Natasha Beranek says they hope the occasion will raise awareness about pet adoption and becoming a foster carer.

“It’s really about raising awareness,” she said.

“If you choose to adopt it can be really beneficial.”

Ms Beranek says adopting from a rescue organisation means your pet will already be desexed, vaccinated and treated for parasites.
