Join us for Pet Adoption Day, where you'll find tables from various community organizations dedicated to animal care. You might wonder: how do mental health and pet adoption connect? The answer lies in companionship. Pets can significantly improve mental well-being by reducing stress, anxiety and depression. They offer unconditional love and support, and their care routines provide a sense of purpose and structure. Adopting a pet fosters responsibility and connection, enhancing empathy, compassion and confidence.
