July 7, 2023 – Seneca, SC— Animal shelters across the nation are full to overflowing, and scores of adoptable pets are waiting even longer to find loving homes. Oconee Humane Society is proud to partner with PetSmart Charities® to bring adoptable pets to Seneca PetSmart in support of National Adoption Week, taking place July 10 – 16, 2023. PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week in July coincides with kitten season.
