Mars Global Adoption Weekend 2025: Spotlight on Animals Looking for Homes at ADCH Member Organisations
This weekend (3rd–5th October) is Mars Global Adoption Weekend, encouraging people across the UK to consider adopting a pet.
Mars is teaming up with the leading mental health company Calm to celebrate its second annual Global Adoption Weekend and show how adopting a shelter pet can change two lives – both the pet’s and the owners.
To support the initiative, ADCH Members were invited to share profiles of animals in their care. With an estimated 12 million dogs and 4 million cats living in shelters around the world, waiting to meet their forever families, Global Adoption Weekend offers an opportunity to shine a light on animals who may have been at the rescue for a long time, or who need a special kind of home or owner.
The initiative is receiving global coverage, with media outlets encouraging people to consider adopting a pet. ADCH is delighted that some of the animals in the care of our Members are being featured in the press, including:
Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home
If you’re considering adopting an animal this Mars Global Adoption Weekend, you can find your nearest ADCH Member organisation by using our ‘Find a Rescue’ tool.
We thank Mars for inviting ADCH Members to take part in this initiative, and for their work in highlighting the value and importance of pet adoption.
