New Research Shows Hottest States for PetSmart Charities(R) Pet Adoptions

Texas Leads So Far This Year, but California Isn't Far Behind

(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 08/12/13 -- The lone star state sizzles when it comes to finding homes for adoptable dogs and cats in 2013, according to new research by nonprofit .

As the leader in pet adoptions, PetSmart Charities analyzed all adoptions that occurred January 1-June 23 through its partnerships with more than 2,000 shelters and rescue agencies. Adoptions took place at PetSmart Charities Adoption Centers and during national and community adoption events in all 1,278 PetSmart® stores.

Here is PetSmart Charities' list of the top ten states for pet adoptions:

1. Texas (20,983)
2. California (18,593)
3. Florida (13,437)
4. Arizona (12,081)
5. Georgia (8,806)
6. North Carolina (8,260)
7. Virginia (7,886)
8. Ohio (6,915)
9. Indiana (6,551)
10. Pennsylvania (6,495)

Millions of healthy adoptable pets are euthanized each year simply because of pet overpopulation. But, people who choose to adopt join a nationwide effort to solve this problem once and for all. You don't have to be a hero to adopt -- just someone who is ready to love and support a pet.
