Pet Supplies Plus, a pet retail franchise in the United States, is launching its second annual 'Dog Days of Summer' adoption event in collaboration with the Detroit Pistons and 313 Presents. According to a company release,1 the free family-friendly event is taking place at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan on Saturday, June 3, from 11 am to 3 pm.

Over 20 shelters and rescues from the metro Detroit-area will be featured at 'Dog Days of Summer.' There will be dogs and cats available for adoption on-site with many being able to go home that day but this will differ by shelter.

"Last year's event made such a difference with more than 100 pets being adopted, and we're excited to give even more pets a forever home this year," said Chris Rowland, chief executive officer of Pet Supplies Plus, in the release. "We're honored the Detroit Pistons, 313 Presents, 20 local shelters and other community vendors want to participate in support of these rescue animals. We encourage all community members looking to expand their families with a furry companion to join us at this great event."1

What's more, Detroit Pistons player Jaden Ivey will be in attendance with Pistons Dancers, Hooper, and the team's hype man "KevKnows." Attendees can engage in giveaways with pet retailers, enjoy themed fun, local food trucks, live pet caricature drawings and beyond. There will also be a main giveaway where 2 lucky winners will receive a gift card to Pet Supplies Plus, summer fun essentials and a Visa gift card.

Free pet giveaways will be distributed by sponsors including Merrick Petcare, Multipet, Outward Hound, Purina Pro Plan, Science Diet and more.
