The Petbarn Foundation, together with its 23 pet adoption partners including the RSPCA, have launched “Find Your Perfect Match”, a national initiative aimed at pairing new pet owners with a “fur-ever” soul mate.

The initiative, which launched on Valentine’s Day, could not go ahead as planned due to Victoria’s circuit-breaker COVID-19 lockdown, however there is a second chance to find puppy love this weekend.

Pet lovers in South Morang and Craigieburn can go to their local Petbarn store on Saturday, February 27 and Sunday, February 28 and participate in “pet dating” to help loveable animals find their forever home.

RSPCA New South Wales chief executive Steve Coleman said he was extremely appreciative of the support of Petbarn and its customers across Australia.

“Placing our animals in Petbarn’s high-traffic locations is extremely helpful in driving awareness and assisting us get pets far and wide among Australia adopted,” Mr Coleman said.

“We have no doubt that our partnership will help many animals available for adoption find their forever families this year.”

One hundred per cent of adoption fees are returned to pet rescue partners to continue their work with a positive impact.
