PetSmart National Adoption Week
No bones about it—it’s one of the BEST weeks of the year to adopt a new best friend!
We are joining PetSmart Charities for National Adoption Week, and we’re getting ready for a SPOOKTACULAR week of helping homeless pets find loving families!
🐶 MEET ADOPTABLE PETS
Come meet some of our amazing dogs looking for their forever homes. We’ll be bringing adoptable pets to PetSmart Slidell, so watch our page for specific dates, times and who will be attending!
🎃 TRICKS FOR TREATS — SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25
PetSmart stores nationwide will wrap up Adoption Week with a special Tricks for Treats event! We’ll be joining the fun with adoptable pets and plenty of Fall + Halloween spirit.
💰 K9 CASH = MORE HAPPY TAILS!
There’s an extra reason to make October the month you adopt! Every dog adopted above our October adoption total from last year earns our shelter an additional $100 from PetSmart Charities.
That means your adoption doesn’t just change the life of the pet you take home—it can help provide additional resources to care for the animals still waiting for their turn. ❤️
🏠 Thinking about adopting?
Start browsing our available animals now at prcspca.org and make plans to come meet your new best friend during National Adoption Week!
📍 PetSmart Slidell
📅 October 19–25, 2026
Help us make this a spooktacular week of HAPPY TAILS! Adopt, share and help us spread the word! 🐾🎃

Mandeville Krewe du Pooch
Join us for a day of fun and community engagement as we participate in the upcoming event on Saturday, March 15th. Our dedicated teams will be present in two distinct roles to promote pet adoption and showcase our wonderful shelter dogs.
One team will be stationed at our adoption table, ready to share information about our animals and help potential adopters find their perfect match. Whether you're looking for a playful puppy, a serene senior, or a fluffy companion, our team is eager to assist you.
Simultaneously, another team will proudly walk shelter dogs in the parade, dressed in a vibrant Van Gogh Sunflower theme. This colorful and artistic representation serves not only to draw attention but also to highlight the importance of adopting shelter animals.
Look for us in the vendor area to learn more about our mission, and be sure to cheer on our parade participants as they stroll alongside the dogs, spreading awareness about pet adoption and responsible pet ownership.
Your support is invaluable in helping us find loving homes for our furry friends. We hope to see you there!
