When you adopt a pet from rescue, you save two lives: your newly adopted pet and another one that can leave the shelter for the safety of a foster home that your adoption opened up.

When you adopt from a Pet Food Express partner (that's us!), Pet Food Express donates up to $20 to help another needy shepherd. Adopters get a 20% off coupon and an extra $10 gift from Pet Food Express. Find all the details at www.petfood.express/petfair and meet our adoptable shepherds at www.shepheroes.org.
