We love new beginnings and second chances for our furry rescue friends!
On May 17th, PupGrade had the opportunity to take part in a pet adoption event with Walmart at the Walmart Supercenter in Miami, alongside Best Friends Animal Society and Blue Buffalo. The event brought together the local community, pet lovers, and dozens of adoptable dogs and cats — all in one parking lot.
As a brand that’s all about supporting the happiness and health of pets, we were excited to be on the ground connecting with new pet parents, handing out PupGrade swag, and celebrating all the adoptions happening that afternoon.
It was a great way to meet people in the community, support a cause we care about, and see firsthand the impact these events have.
Event Recap: Pet Adoptions, Making an Impact, & Creating Connections
Best Friends Animal Society, a nonprofit working to save the lives of homeless pets, had a wide range of animals on site. And in just four hours, 25 pets — canines and felines alike — were adopted into their new forever homes and families.
One of the highlights for us was gifting every new dog adopter with a year’s supply of our PupGrade Complete Care Shampoo & Conditioner as a thank-you and welcome-home gift for their new pup.
But our team members were right in the mix, handing out branded goodie bags, hosting a “spin the wheel” game for fun prizes, and connecting with the crowd looking to potentially add a new family member to the mix.
“We were able to help promote the brand by gifting samples to those who walked by and were already dog owners, and team members who worked the event with Best Friends Animal Society. They were excited to see our brand and thankful that they had something to take back home to their pups!” – Ticaro Heath, Sourcing & Procurement Specialist
In addition to meeting new pet parents, it was a great opportunity to introduce PupGrade to the crowd, connect with the community, and support a cause that aligns with our mission.
“We were very excited to be a part of such an amazing event. Seeing adoptions happen right in front of you is such a special thing. It was great getting our name out there, meeting new people, and learning more about Best Friends Animal Society.” – Riley Monsour, Retail Relationship Coordinator.
Honoring Rescue Work & Looking Ahead
We’re grateful to have been part of such a rewarding event, and more grateful for the partnerships that made it possible. Walmart, Blue Buffalo, and Best Friends Animal Society came together to create something special — and we were proud to support it.
Whether it was a furry friend going home with their new loving family or a pet parent excited to win some goodies for their pets, every interaction mattered.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, adopted a pet in need of a forever home, or simply showed up to support the cause.
We also want to recognize the important work that Best Friends Animal Society is doing every day, from rescuing and protecting animals to helping them find loving homes. Their mission to bring about a future where every pet has a safe place to land is one we deeply respect and are proud to support.

We’re excited to keep showing up for the pet community in meaningful ways, and we’re already looking forward to the next one!
