On Saturday, August 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Especially for Pets, in Westborough, is holding an Adoption Information Day with PittieLove Rescue, a Massachusetts-based organization dedicated to the care, understanding and adoption of the American Pit Bull Terrier and related mixes.

“It’s part of our mission to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless pets, as well as raise awareness about the work being done in the rescue community,” says Amy Kinne, director of business development at Especially for Pets. “We encourage people to stop by on August 3, and meet the dogs and volunteers from this wonderful organization. PittieLove’s number one goal is to prevent rescued dogs from suffering neglect or abuse, and they carefully place these animals into loving homes where they can be ambassadors for the breed.”

PittieLove works closely with shelters, animal control facilities and fellow rescue organizations throughout the state. To learn more, visit PittieLove Rescue.org. Especially for Pets sells pet food and supplies in addition to offering such services as training and grooming. Store locations in Acton, Canton, Medway, Newton, Sudbury, Wayland and Westborough host adoption information days on a regular basis.

Cost: Free. Location: Especially for Pets, 153 Turnpike Rd. (Rte. 9), Westborough. For more information, call 508-366-9696 or visit EspeciallyForPets.com.
